So You Thought They Were Your Family?

Location

United States

I called them my friends

My close friends, my best friends,

I called them my sisters and my brothers

I saw us as becoming a family

I wanted to love them but I couldn't really understand

Because ,well, I mean, school, the bible, and my blood taught me that family sticks together

That we were gonna be together,

Through thick and thin, maybe forever

So tell me why I'm over here feeling worse than ever

Why me and my so called "family" aren't together

The mistake for me started way back

Thinking that I could trust people who dig into one another

Who stay on each others back

Who get thrill from making people hurt

And didn't have the courage to assault them with there hateful words in person

And I'm not saying I'm free of these transgressions

That I didn't hurt people by my own devices

I didn't get forced to say my own hateful words

I chose all that just to be accepted

It gets lonely out there

Sometimes no one can ever understand

So to find 1, 2, 3, or even 7 good friends that liked me was a blessing

Forgetting who I really am

Just to hold on to some friends

That makes me sick,

I ache thinking about how I acted so fake

Hurting people who could've been better friends

I became a bully in the end

But when you run out of targets you gotta turn on your own

The odd man out, so I guess I was the first one to go

I stayed on thin ice but it was fun while it lasted

Until that same ice broke from under me

Now I'm swimming in this hate caused by my "family's" years of insecurities

I'm their crash test dummy

That's not me anymore

Because I refuse to be apart of a hateful group of people

Who weren't my my "family" from the start

It was all justified until it happend to me

And now I got to turn over a new leaf

Because I'm tired of getting hurt by not just the betrayal from them

But the one that came from me

So no new family needed

The real friends and family I have now are fine

But I still say thanks to the fake ones

Because you took away my pride

And that's what I needed

To see the evils that you hide

So just know

I'm still wishing you the best

But now I'm saying goodbye
