my friends

I have a friend

who's in love with a boy

but this boy isn't in love with her

she doesn't know it but she's his toy



she wraps her arms around his body

like a sign of ownership

although he sleeps with her every night

he won't commit to a relationship



and it's easy to see why she holds on so tight

but looking in you can see the faulty foundation

no matter how many times i try to tell her

she doesn't see this "love" is a simple hallucination



I have a friend

who's in love with a boy

he's a liar and a cheater

but still he brings her joy



he drags her heart around like an unwanted dog

and she mistakes this ride for holding out when it gets rough

I know it's insecurity and the need for that "love"

I try to ignore her mistakes but it's getting tough



She displays her heart just like all his other girls do

She thinks she's special because he tells her so

I tell her he's a liar and cheater

But no matter how I spell it out she won't let go



And here I am

a girl without a soul to love

but I know if I did

I wouldn't allow my heart to be covered in mud



Because I know what love is

And I know it's not what my friends have

I know not to settle for second best anymore

But I guess my friends need's that attention that bad



So I go to sleep tonight without a special one to think about

Maybe I'll go to sleep thinking of a woman I never met

Because I know no love is better than false love

I know someday they'll look back on these boys and feel regret
