Friends should share many things Enjoy the highs Comfort, when sadness decides to walk in
I'm often outside, looking in The false face Of friendship is what you are all wearing
I'm always the last to ever know When things happen Snippets of your lives, to me you will throw
I'm always a mere second thought This hurts Between the nets of guilt and anger, I'm caught
I've tried to remain a loyal friend I really have But has this road now come to an end?
The balance of friendship, is just not fair You've tipped it I'm left dangling and alone in the air
When one of us took ill, I never knew A friend nearly died No one thought to tell me, not one of you
Then I hear my friends dad has died, still the same I was last to know I could not believe it was happening again
It's all leaving a bad taste in my mouth What do I do? When all I want to do is really shout
I'm here feeling guilty and torn Very let down Should friendship leave you feeling so forlorn?
So whilst you're all at the funeral now I'm here alone Before the altar of emptiness I bow
You will all probably never know, how I truly feel I'll remain quiet Whilst more of my friendship you'll steal
