All I Ever Wanted Was To Be Your Friend

I’m not just another dumb idiot you met on the street

I have a lot more sense and morals than what you think

I never wanted to make your life complicated

All I ever wanted was to be your friend

 

You never even gave me a chance

You never cared about my feelings or that I even existed

You are always so angry and frustrated in your own world

I thought that if I kept trying, hopefully you would come around

 

I thought that somehow you would see how much you hurt me

I never wanted to take advantage of you

All I wanted was to get to know you better

I was hoping that some day you would get to know me too

 

But, every time I knocked on the door of your heart

You opened and slammed it right in my face

You have broken my heart countless times

And never once did you care to apologize

 

I respected and cared for you for as long as I could

Even though deep inside I knew that you disliked me

I tried to find the good in you every time we met

But, you would always push me further away

 

Now that you are hurt and have no one to turn to

You are asking me to open up my life to you again

Can’t you see that my heart is shattered into pieces?

Can’t you see and feel my frustration here today?

 

Please don’t stand there and expect me to bend

Don’t ask me to hold you after what you’ve put me through

I have wasted so much time trying to be your friend

I hope that someone out there will be able to tolerate you

 

Because I won’t and I refuse to let you control my life

I refuse to let myself feel hopeless and void

I will never let you get the best of me like you did before

I won’t feel sorry for you anymore
