Something You Can't Give Me

Make new friends but keep the old,

That’s what I was always told.

What if friends aren’t worth the pain?

Leave you standing in the rain?

Deep inside, I knew it true,

Friends don’t do that to you.

There’s more to life than feeling

Sorry for yourself,

But when things went wrong

Were you there to life me up?

You were too wrapped up in your own mistakes,

Watching me bend until I break.

I never knew I couldn’t trust

Someone I’d always believed,

But now I know that I was stupid,

You never cared about me.

I’m sorry I wasted time,

Looking for things I couldn’t find.

Step by step, you pulled me back,

Tearing me down when you were sad

Because of something I didn’t know I did,

Something that hurt you, but instead you hid.

I’m done with that, I’m ready to fly,

Spread my wings without a good-bye.

‘Cause you don’t deserve what you never liked,

I only hope you’ll be fine, in time.

Now all I hear is how you want me around,

But why is it that you want me now?

What about yesterday when I needed you,

Or what about tomorrow when I’ll want the truth?

That’s something you can’t give me,

I can’t believe I was ever so naïve.

To believe you’d ever cared,

I want to take back every moment we’d shared.

I’m sorry I wasted my time.
