Friends (early 1990's)

"We're just friends," she said
And I felt the knife go through my heart
And I wondered if she'd felt that way
From the very
Start

She smiled as she said it
Which somehow made it worse
And I said, "Yeah I guess
You're right" (my niceness
is my curse)

I agreed with
Her
But inside my mind was reeling
A silence shot the
Air
Down and the kindness was peeling
Away away away away away away away

I screamed, "We are not friends,
We're more and you know it
What more means I couldn't say but
Your attitude shows it"

I resented her presence
But didn't care to see anyone else
I told her all of this
She silently looked back I felt
Alive alive alive alive alive alive alive
