A True Friend

A true friend I thought you were,
you were there when I needed one,
you would be there for me...
that's what i thought...
if only i knew then what i now know...
if only i knew your name with the devils lot you'd throw.

oh, what a fool I'd been!

if I knew you were plotting,
to bring me down,
to see my tears.
that's what i couldn't foresee.
if only i knew then what i now know,
if only I knew your name with the devils lot you'd throw.

Oh, what a fool I'd been!

If I knew you were lying,
when you said you really believed
in our friendship,
but i saw only the truth I wanted to.
If only I knew then what i now know...
If only I knew your name with the devils lot  you'd throw

Oh, What a fool I'd been!

This is an excellent write, Angie! strong and expressive. You can't just blame yourself for not realizing beforehand what your 'friend' was like. You acted like a true friend; the other person didn't! At least now you know where you stand! // paul
