bananas.

You were supposed to be my best friend

But I can’t find you under your skin

[where are you hiding?]

I’ve looked to where the sidewalk ends

I’m afraid to walk around the bend

 

You used to be the one who loved

Now you’ve disappeared

[invisible to be invincible]

While I’m stuck here fighting

Trying to win you back, but losing

 

You should have been the one to trust

That I could make it through

[past the thorns and over the bodies]

The past I should have buried

No decisions should have varied

 

You would have been stronger for me

But now you push me down

[silence can be deadly]

And I’m done fooling around

My feelings have unwound

 

You could be my one true friend

Though I guess you want it to end

[But I miss your awkward laughter]

Our bonding over obnoxious behavior

I miss you as my anchor
