I lie to myself
I don't understand this feeling
that I have when I think of you
the mask you had is fading
I'm beginning to see what's true

I've seen it all before
but the truth I must deny
you don't know you depress me
you don't know you make me cry

Although you're not there for me
although you do not care
I can't stand to see you upset
your pain I cannot bear

You're just like all the others
when you turn and walk away
I see us drifting apart
you get farther every day

I can sit there hating you
but need you at the same time
I need your friendship more than you know
but you do not need mine

I say you're everything a bad friend is
but one-on-one you shock me once again
and while I know that I'll get hurt
I lie to myself that you're my best friend
