No Friend Of Mine

You were always a guest at our table

We grew up in the same small town

You were the pitcher I played first base

You were the one who showed me around

I was always at your place

You never let me down

 

It took me years to get it

To pull away the blinds

It took me a while

But I realized in the end

That you never were my friend

 

The years went by you got older I got smarter

I met my first love when I was sixteen

You said we were the perfect couple

That we were just made to be two

So you can guess just how I felt

When I heard she was with you

 

You were the first to dis me

I was the last to know

I was a fool

But I knew in time

You are no friend of mine

 

You never were what you said you were

You never were on my side

You did what you could to spin my wheels

To push me down that slide

 

In our senior year you dropped out of school

I said I’d help to get you back in line

I went to the dean and pled your case

I gave my all you didn’t do jack

And all the while you found a way

To stab me in the back

 

At first I refused to believe

That you would shoot me down

I was naïve but I got it in the end

That you never were my friend
