Just Friends
I’m through with you,
I set you free
I can’t do this anymore
I want to forgive
All your deceit
When you walked out of the door
But I can’t forgive
All the lies
Told to save yourself
Then to discover
The reasons why
You were with someone else
I felt worthless
I did feel shame
And you ran away and hid
But here you are
Asking to be friends
After all you did
To say you’re sorry is not enough
To make up for the loss of love
I can’t forgive you
I can’t forget
When it’s still before my eyes
The past is gone
But in the present
I’m still living with the lies
I want to run
But am held bound
To promises I made
Left with all the love
That should be yours
If you had only stayed
I realize it’s more
Than you can understand
And I can’t explain
But I can’t stop my heart
And we can’t be friends
When memories remain
Letting go is not what I would choose
And the choice really isn't up to you
I cannot be just friends…
