I think all three must be true.
It's me, it's us and it's you.
Everyone's damaged in their own way.
Friends understand that and work together to stay.

Popping in and out doesn't build deep connections.
Words are only words without actions and affection.
It doesn't matter how many insincere rythmes you can make.
Empty promises cause people to break.

You barely touch the surface, popping in and out so fast.
Taking everything personal like you're the only one with a past.
You live in the exciting, fast lane of life.
Friendship to you is exclamation points, chaos, drama, and strife!

To me, it's elipsis...etc. etc. Semi-colons and deep truth.
Loyalty, comfort, and trust that no longer need proof!
The hurt behind stares that are blank don't feel rude.
Friends hear with their hearts, not their ego, getting misconstrued.

I believe that you love me and I love you too
Yet the things we dislike continue to accrue.
Love doesn't last when it's not what you want.
It's not love that looks at me and calls me a cunt.

I'm not asking too much to be priority number one.
Not left sitting and waiting while you're distracted by fun.
You're not the only one who's lost and a wreck.
But it's always back to you while I wait another sec.

You're not the only one who thinks that I'm hot.
I give you my body and get treated like an afterthought.
Hotties are everywhere. it's my heart, that's rare.
A man who can see that will consistently care.

My heart is familiar with charming men who can woo.
It's been tricked before into love that's askew.
I'm not wanting to change you, and I won't change for you.
We just don't fit together, it's sad but true.

I'm gonna follow your lead and end this happy and nice.
I liked what you wrote, read it more than twice.
I have to agree when you say I'm your greatest of all time!
So I refuse to be treated like I'm not worth a dime!
