Best Friend or Foe
Best friend or foe
I swear I'll never know
You're nice one minute, nasty the next
The things that you say leave me perplexed
I would never say that to even those I hate
I don't know how to walk away so I just patiently wait
I pray you'll eventually realize what you're doing to us and change
But it's always a new argument that leaves us at the brink of being estranged
There's always an excuse and passing of the blame
Flipping it around and accusing me of playing victim is your game
I used to pride myself on being grateful, courteous and sweet
Now to catch me in a good mood is a rare treat
It's getting harder and harder to watch this downward spiral
I feel like my life, my morals and my values are on trial
I say I won't let you get to me but how can you stop a speeding train
I miss you being my umbrella in the pouring rain
Our friendship has taken a turn for the worse
It's something that only you can reverse
Why does it feel like jealousy
When you have the power to create your own legacy
This isn't a competition, no fight to the finish line
You can do anything be anything, now is the perfect time
Bring me back the unbreakable girl I vaguely remember
The one who was happy, carefree and didn't have a temper
She's somewhere in there waiting to make a comeback
To show everyone you're unstoppable will be the ultimate payback
Stop wasting time and letting the past keep replaying
Welcome back to the world of the living that you're finally reclaiming
Come back to reality and drop down your guard
Wipe off the dirt it didn't leave you scarred
Open your eyes and realize life isn't against you
It merely gave you the opportunity to become someone new
