I lost so many people that I THOUGHT were my friends,
But I thought you three would be there through the end.
I was thinking everything would be all right
As long as you three were by my side.
I never stopped to think that you, too, might leave,
And that my circle of friends would include only me.
When I started dating Travis, slowly things changed.
It was like our friendship had been rearranged.
I knew you were mad at him, though I didn't know why,
But I couldn't talk sense into you, no matter how I tried.
I thought things would blow over, I though it would pass,
But it's been two months and your crap still lasts.
I hear it every day, how I'm dating a nark.
I hear you talk about him, yet I leave him in the dark.
He talks so fondly about you three
That I could never tell him things aren't as they seem.
I wish you could see how truly wrong you are
Then maybe we could all have a fresh new start.
I want my best friends back by my side
And to feel like my truest feelings, I don't have to hide.
I'm not breaking up with him just to make you happy.
You act jealous now, but if I did, you wouln't want me.
I want you to accept there's someone else in my life
But I'll love you forever, that is my plight.
