We started getting really close
I called you my friend
We were supposed to be there for each other
Until the very end
But certain things were said
I probably shouldn't say them again
Because if I do, it'll feel like I'm committing a sin
But these thoughts keep on racing through my head
I can't take it anymore
So **** it, let me say them again
You said "I wish you were never born"
And out of frustration I said "I wish you were dead"
And at that point, our friendship was hanging by a thread
We should have tried to make it work
But we went our separate ways instead

The years flew by
Started watching the clock spin
And realized I'm tired of holding grudges in
We were clearly both at fault
But I guess it depends
Because you might put the blame on me
Let's not pretend the blames on you too
It was one of those arguments where there was a slight misunderstanding
Yet we threw away the whole friendship
There could have been a better way in handling it
It's probably too late for us to make amends
I wonder if we we will ever decide to be friends again
Quotedbykayla Dec 2018
I was so ignorant most of my life.
Seeing what you expected from me without the care of what to expect from myself.

I fought a losing battle;
crawled on my knees and broke my nails to earn your acceptance-but I was always not the piece in your puzzle.
Love and hate was no question to your concern.
One minute we are okay and the next you smile;
out of care, love, or appreciation-no,
because I was the joke;
The fool that will never match up to your standards;
Too pathetic for not being cool enough like you and willing to get where I want without the knowledge and concern of hurting others.
Well my conscience is too strong to allow myself to be like you,
I'm too humble.
I kept on to you because I was afraid of being alone.
I kept on to you and refused to let go even though I was hurt.
I loved harder even where it hurts the most
because I thought that my sole purpose was to fit in.

My love and appreciation was not appreciated.
My loyalty was not good enough.
The disrespect and shame you labelled me as will never change no matter how hard I try.
We were not cut out to be pasted on the same artwork,
however we are in the same world and share the same space, therefore I am choosing to let the fight go.

I’m a child of the moon, it knows everything about me. It sees my most vulnerable parts. The parts of me that the sun will never be able to see.
It doesn’t make sense to me, I’m scared of the dark.
But I guess you really do keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

If there was anything in the water, its's all been drunk by now

repeat that, mantra red neck style
drivin' down a for-real country road
with oak trees and double yellow lines,
windows all rolled down,
drivin' twenty-five…

If there was anything in the water, its's all been drunk by now

If there was anything in the water, its's all been drunk by now

con spiracy thee or ye and me we all you all we uns you uns

watchathank
watchathank
watchathank can the dumb white boy keep time,

or what?

It's a mystery t'me.
Could be.

If there was anything in the water, its's all been drunk by now
Christmas parties carried some punch when I was Junger. I'm thinkin' about rollin' back, value not price. God rest ye merry, gentle men, wombed and un.

Your buds are crushed
beneath my feet
I will trod upon your
tales, tails and lies
