You said I was your friend



You said I was your friend
Why did you say that if you don’t mean it
If you were going to keep me away
Only to talk to me only when you wanted to
Why did you say that
If it is not true
You are just hurting me
Because I wanted to be your friend
In you I found the friend of my dreams
The friend that I was craving
The connection I was seeking
I wanted to be mad at you
But all I feel is pain
Because I wanted to be your friend
