Friends you thought were real…


 

Iv tried so hard 

Iv came so far

But I still don’t feel in place 

My friends are rude 

I don’t know what to do 

I think we need some space 

I wanna go 

Far from where they know 

I think I know a place 

Iv been before 

I feel I fit 

But there is no way in 

There is no space 

But I’m scared if I wait 

Things might just get worse

It’s gone to far 

There is no cure 

I geuss I just have to wait 

I feel so stuck

And so alone 

I shouldn’t feel that way 

It isn’t right 

It’s not how it works 

I thought friends were meant to stay...
