It doesn't have to
Be this way
How did "our" friends go
From being caught
In the middle
To not even being able
To look at me
When I pass by
How did they go
From supporting me
And telling me
That you were the one
Who made the mistake
To joining in your fight
To tear my life apart
Piece by piece
Are you really that persuasive?
Do I really seem that dishonest?
I just can't imagine that they
Have been playing me this whole time
But then again
I would have never imagined
That you could
Turn on me like this
Maybe I should
Start imagining
Maybe your cynicism caused you
To betray the hopeless romantic
Or do we even know
Which one caused the other?
Maybe being a cynic
And a betrayed hopeless romantic
Are one in the same
