Thanks To You
You saw my frown
you knew I was bleeding out on the ground.
You ignored the fact that I wasn't okay
you didn't care so you just walked away.
I asked for your help...
but you left me here.
Making me feel like my life was Hell.
But then I realized I didn't need you
I don't need anyone anymore.
I finally picked myself up off the floor,
and now I'm stronger than I've ever been before.
So when someone asks me about you
I'll say you're a great friend
and you'll be there till the end
even though you weren't there for me.
You know I could ruin your life
by telling everyone what you did to me.
How you threw away the key
and didn't care if I was set free.
How you watched the happiness leave my eyes
then left, leaving me to look at dark skies.
But I won't do that.
No, instead I'll keep to myself
and pretend to do anything
when all you did was everything.
Because, in the end, I realized I didn't need you'
and you were never the one that was gonna get me through.
So the next time you make a new friend
make sure they know that you doin't care about how they feel
be sure they know that, with you, friendship isn't real.
Thank you for showing me that not everything is the way it seems
and that no matter what you think, it doesn't mean it's true
because you never really know if someone is actually going to be there.
I can't believe I actually thought you cared
but, thanks to you, now I know to always be aware.
