Guess I Should Have Known
Guess I really should have
known that you would be
like all the rest.
That all the pretty words
were really just that.
Just pretty words to pass
the time until you felt that
you didn't need me anymore.
Guess I really should have
known that you would
walk away just the way
that all of the others
have done to me.
Guess I really should have
known that when you said
I was your best friend
you really didn't mean it.
Now i'm heartbroken just
as I have been before.
Wondering why people think
that they need to lie so
much and play with others
feelings to benefit themselves.
Guess I really should have
known that in the end you
would let me down again.
Everyone has, I just never
thought that you would be
the one to hurt me the most.
I never imagined that you
would let me down again.
Guess I really should have
known that our time would
come to an end that I'd be
the one to suffer for all
the kindness that I showed.
True friends listen to each
other. True friends do not
just walk away the minute
something doesn't go as
planned, instead they stick
it out and work together
to make each others lives
so much easier.
Guess I should have known
that in the end I was not
really your friend or anyone
to you really, because if I
was you would have not
been able to walk away as
easy as you did.
You would not have broken
my heart yet again. Guess
what they say is true
friends do come and go,
but I really thought that
you were more than that.
I really thought your words
were real and the things you
said were true. Guess I've
learned now not to open
myself up like that.
Thanks for teaching me
that trusting people,
that trusting a friend is
not something that I should
ever do again.
