To My Best Friend

Well I can't believe my eyes right now
And I can't trust this feeling
You've forgotten all about us
You've forgotten all about me
Was I never there when you were down?
Was I invisible the times we laughed?
And all those days we were together
I feel as if you don't remember
Let's go back, far back now
To when things were just so simple
Let's breathe in the innocence we once had
How we've forgotten those silly days
You tell me you've let go, finally matured
But what you call "maturing"
I call "cowardly"
Days were so easy, how they'd come and pass
I trusted you so much
Put my faith deep in your palms
Well I guess I was mistaken
Cause nobody seems to tell the truth anymore
Did we realize it when we were 12?
That in the years to come
We'd be filled with such grief?
Well I feel so low, I can't feel anything at all
I can see your pain
You're avoiding the facts
You're shying away from me
You dislike me, no, hate
It's the only word to perfectly describe us
What a strong word it is
That we increasingly built without knowledge
We never thought we'd endure this emotion
But who were we to second-guess nature's plan?
And I'm so indigent
But you might refer to it as greedy
I just need our friendship
I want this stress to disappear
So this water fills my eyes
And this silence breaks the skin
That kept me so together
"What beautiful marks, such lovely tears
They've made you stronger," they say
But all I see is regret
And all I feel is remorse
