sometimes when I'm lonely

I take myself back to when

they knew the truth behind me

when I knew they were my friend

sometimes when I'm lonely

i forget I was betrayed

and wish the result was different

wish they would have stayed

sometimes when I'm lonely

I long for a single sound

a second of their laughter

or the swings at the playground

sometimes when I'm lonely

I trace back all my steps

wonder where I went wrong

or why it was they left

sometimes when I'm lonely

I see them passing on the street

walking to our old hangouts

and the places where we'd meet

sometimes when I'm lonely

I get the courage to pick up the phone

and once I hear it ringing

I quickly pray that they're not home

sometimes when I'm lonely

I shuffle through my old pictures

realize how much they are worth

and know they make me richer

sometimes when I'm lonely

I know no one's around to talk

so I swallow the lump in my throat

and choose to take a walk

sometimes when I'm lonely

I find myself wishing they were there

hoping I could disappear today

wondering if they'd still care

sometimes when I'm lonely

I realize that I once had friends

nothing lasts forever, not even friendships

and that's how the story ends
