Backstabber


With a hug and a knife to the back
You destroy my life
Alter everyone's opinion of me
You're a backstabber

I loved you like a sister
But you convinced my friend
That everyone hated him
At our church and school
You made me look pathetic

I loved you like a sister
I gave you text books
I gave you school uniforms
And yet you made fun of them and me

With a hug and a knife to the back
You call me an elephant
You start a rumor
Calling me a whore

I loved you like a sister
You say you love me
But you lie
I cannot trust you

I do NOT like to be lied to
I exile those that do
you laughed at him
Will you laugh when you experince it to?

With a hug and a knife to the back
you were my best friend
But you abandoned me for the "crowd"
I cannot be friends with you
For I cannot trust someone who
Hugs with a knife to the back
