We've never changed
Always pretending the other one is wrong
I can laugh with you and also wish you were gone

We share a lot, maybe you're better at it than me
But you're cruel and hateful and you can't even see!

Why do I say things to you, like insecurities about my weight
And then you bring it up when it's least needed
And I'm so ashamed of something so seamless

I can't get things right and I'm usually wrong
I dropped 3rd period math
And you shared it with everyone, like a song

I can't feel safe saying the things I want to
I'm so embarrassed of myself when I'm not the girl with a problem!

So what my brain hatches as a plan to saver my dignity
It remembers what you've said and it turns it inside out

I play my cards carefully, staying clean in my crime
Remarking on your grades, your relationships, your whine

Being a bad friend doesn't get you very far
It gets you deep into a pit of anger and whatever
When you fall down there it gets pretty lonely
So I see what you did, that was pretty clever
