Imaginary Friend?

When you were a kid, did you have an imaginary friend
One who played with you when you weren't exactly a 'trend'
One who swung on the swing with you when no one else would
One who tucked you in at night when your mom forgot to

Do you remember when it faded
Did you grow up
Did real friends come along
Did you forget about it
Did your friends say it didn't belong

Do you remember what it was like when it was gone?
You had your friends.
Everything felt okay
You didn't even know it was gone
Did you?

Do you remember when your friends left?
How you cried?
How it tore you apart?
How on the inside you died?
How they left without a goodbye?

Did your imaginary friend ever come back?
Did you even ask it to?
Did you beg for forgiveness?
Would it even give it to you?
Who'd blame it? I'd hate you too.

Did you fall into your mind deeper and deeper to find it?
You didn't find it did you?
Only got lost along the way.
Everyone saw how you're mood had changed.
You got sadder everyday.

Now everyone has left you.
And you decide you can't stay.
No one bothers to help
when they noticed you weren't okay.
They would all probably have guessed today was your last day.

So place the gun to your head
Remember everything they said
"Growing up will be the best"
"No more grownups and real friends"
Place it down for one last task

You struggle to write an explanation
blaming the world for your mistakes
The ones they said we'd learn from
But forgot to mention how long it'd take
Every tear you cry, makes you more insane

You're weakness grows, and your weapon is raised
But in all reality, who's to define
How thin the line is between
Weakness and strength

The truth is
until you close your eyes
you'll never be set free
because your imaginary friend is you
and you are me

You've always been alone in this world
You just hid blindly behind people you thought you trust
No one's going to remember the way your lips swirled
Give it a few months, and your photo album will be covered in dust
