Written by me, every word is completely true...
Why must you lie?
We met over spilled blocks
when Josh knocked them down
you we're crying so I gave you my bear
after that it seemed you we're always around.
Every other year you were in my class
we stayed best friends and saw each other a lot
through tough times we held strong knowing we had each other
we'd hiked through your woods to our favorite picnic spot.
The younger years were so simple
why did those have to go
junior high came so quickly
and our relationship started to slow.
You came to school crying
said your parents got a divorce
so I said you'd get through it
that you've been through worse
I went to your house that night to show my support
and I saw your mom still had a ring of her finger
but I let my question drop and we went to your room
we talked through the night, though my suspicion continued to linger.
Your mom and dad looked happy, it seemed as if they didn't split,
I wish I had caught it sooner, the fact that you lied
but I trusted you so much I had no question
after I found out I went home and cried.
Forgave you, I did and we remained friends,
till' the day you came to school and said your sister had cancer
you fooled me me again, and I gave my support
then I called your house and it was your sister who answered.
"How is your cancer doing?" I asked
when I heard her answer my tears started to fall
for the words she spoke were,
"I don't have cancer at all."
Mary still lies, but shes still a good friend
I wish we could have what we once had again
endless summers of fun, and movies with boys
but right now I fear, we'll never know what should have been.
