After All

Post by sprinks41 »

this is about my former best friend. we were best friends for about 6 or 7 years or so, but unfortunately had a falling out. I decided to write this about it.


Intro
This is real, I cant believe it's so
I didn't wanna let go
But I need you to know
You did this to yourself
All I did was try to help
But you kept walking away
It's time to move on

Verse 1
No more benefits of the doubt
You were the prison of my mind but I got out
All those years, were you just using me?
My head was spinning, my thoughts were confusing me
As much as I cared I kept quiet
Deep down inside me there was an anxious riot
It terrified me to think that we drifted
Life kept moving but I couldn't keep up with it
The haze of pain I was trying so hard to get through
But how could I when every little thing reminded me of you?

Pre-Chorus
I dug a shallow grave
The headstone reads

Chorus
"Here lies the trust I had in you
Made from everythng we'd been through"
Not sure how we stopped seeing eye to eye
I guess when you started telling lie after lie
So this is goodbye
Before you I always felt alone
Was so afraid to be on my own
But now I know I can stand tall
'Cause I'm gonna be OK after all

Verse 2
You can't say I never tried
That my arms were never open wide
Despite all the pain you made me feel
Now my worst nightmare has become real
I thought I was dreaming but you're gone
Now nothing can stop me from moving on
"I'll never change," you said it right to my face
Yet another lie, you're such a disgrace
You lied through your teeth and had me believe
Through that locked door you said you'd never leave

(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)

Bridge
You knew how much I loved you
How far I would go for you
Like you fell right from the skies
You said you'd never leave
Tell me I didn't believe
All those years of lies
How the fuck could you do this to me?
Never thought this feeling would come to be
Hopefully one day you'll see
You owe me an apology
I'm sick of all your alibis
There's nothing left to analyze
Too many years of deceit
I hope you had your fun
There's no way you can save me
The damage is done

(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
