Attempt To Be a Selfish Friend Lying Like a Fool

We fell because of his dishonesty which comes from selfishness 
when he forcefully lies to your face and you couldn’t careless 
answers to questions you avoided asking to avoid the whole process 
Yet he continues to lie regardless with ignorance and stress 

You know he’s lying and you don’t care 
but he doesn’t listen or disappear 
repeatedly lying completely unaware 
his presence isn’t welcome or wanted around here 
but he’s so self important all he does is carry on 
in your face he’s telling lies thinking he’s not in the wrong

When the lie has been revealed yet he sticks to it still 
invading your space until you accept his words must be real 
obsessed with drilling home the lie regardless of how you feel 
not a thought beyond his mission he doesn’t stop or chill

And even though it is your birthday he carries on relentless 
showing you just what he’s worth apparently demented 
he’s out saying why he can’t come out and that’s his only focus 
every year he does the same too self involved to notice 

He doesn’t do honesty is dishonest as a habit, 
he thinks if he keeps lying eventually I’ll have it, 
but all I see is somebody who really is quite tragic 
and if he’s my best friend again it will because of magic

Some people believe they know better when they don’t know at all 
they do these things that no one ever 
would accept as cool 
In my face without a thought showing he’s a fool 
who only thinks about himself, an individual.
