about

Because toxic friendships exist

lyrics

It took me too long to see
I’ve begun to realize
That you look down upon me
You can’t hide pity in your eyes
I was the funny sidekick
You were the star of the show,
Traveling first class on Titanic
I was in steerage below

Is it any wonder why you seem to have no other friends remaining?
Every friend you ever had found your relationship a bit too draining

You can get out of my life
Get away from me
I don’t need your bad advice
I don’t need to be
Poisoned by your arrogance
It’s stupidity
You’re not really my friend
You’re my frenemy
Don’t have any self-esteem
It’s just vanity
Not as pretty as you think
Plain as plain can be
You’re a fine example of mediocrity
You’re not really my friend
You’re my frenemy

I’m tired of all of your games
I can’t pretend anymore
That you are actually interesting
When you are truly a bore
You tried to take what is mine
You’re unfulfilled to the core
Got what you wanted, but not enough
Isn’t this what you asked for?

Do you ever stop to think about the reasons for your discontent?
Why are you still blaming everybody else for how your lovelife went?

You can get out of my life
Get away from me
I don’t need your bad advice
I don’t need to be
Poisoned by your arrogance
It’s stupidity
You’re not really my friend
You’re my frenemy
Don’t have any self-esteem
It’s just vanity
Not as pretty as you think
Plain as plain can be
You’re a fine example of mediocrity
You’re not really my friend
You’re my frenemy

You can play the victim all you want
No one believes you
You can say it’s someone else’s fault
You know it’s not true
Didn’t get your way
And now you’re acting like the world’s against you
Nothing’s good enough
All that you got, you just got used to
Isn’t it sad?
Isn’t it truly pathetic?
Think of the time that you wasted on still being mad
Shouting and yelling, complaining
If you’d been less condescending
I’d almost feel bad
If you’d been kinder
I would have reached out
But what was said cannot be unsaid
Lie with yourself
You made your bed

You can get out of my life
Get away from me
I don’t need your bad advice
I don’t need to be
Poisoned by your arrogance
It’s stupidity
You’re not really my friend
You’re my frenemy
Don’t have any self-esteem
It’s just vanity
Not as pretty as you think
Plain as plain can be
You’re a fine example of mediocrity
You’re not really my friend
You’re my frenemy

You’re not really my friend
You’re my frenemy
You’re not really my friend
You’re my frenemy
You’re not really my friend
You’re my frenemy
You’re not really my friend
You’re my frenemy
