One side

every time

I would've never done what you did

You didn't think twice about it

Locked inside your ivory fortress

Forget about me, all you need is him

Made me believe you cared for me

Now I'm all alone and it's so embarrassing

I vouched for you, lied for you

I did everything

Turn your back on me again

Tell him what you should have said

When you were facing me

"I never wanted this to end"

But here we are

Alone and apart

He can have your time, have your mind

I will always have your heart

You won't forget the friend

The friend who you left behind

Over and over and over

So tell me, was it easy or hard fought

Did it hurt when you found

Forgiveness cannot always be bought

Your feet on the ground

I watch you walking off

Knowing you'd never turn around

Never look back at that girl

That looked at you and she thought

That you were the best in the world

Please look back at the girl

Did she mean anything at all?
