I care about you
I protect you
I defend you
But you pick and choose

I catch you when you fall
I help you find your way
I hold up a mirror up so you can see your true self
But you pick and choose

I listen to you endlessly
I take you B.S. constantly
I make you smile instantly
But you pick and choose

You'll never pick me over them
You'll never choose to care unless you have to
You'll never pick to see my pain
But I don't pick and choose

I don't decide when it's a good time to be there
I don't clock in and out
Being a best friend is a 24/7 job
And you've just been fired
