Betrayed

I used to think that no matter what
     No outside illusions could touch 
       Our friendship 
        But I was wrong 
       Dead wrong
     How could I ever think she wouldn't
        want to go back to how things used to be?
        Wasn't she happy being Mrs. Popular? 
                 Mrs. Worshipped.
        They are reeling her back in 
            and I feel the pressure building as I let go
                 Cause she and I can't exist
                     In the mists of the cliques 
                  I used to think we were above 
                       All that
                   But obviously were still into excluding
                         The cliques are getting smaller and smaller
                              I am holding on 
                              Cause I no longer want to conform
                                 I'm tired of trying to mold
                             I just don't see how she can travel
                                back and forward to both planes
                                   I don't wanna say she has to choice
                                     But I get a bad taste in my mouth 
                                        Everytimes she returns from them
                                          I don't think I am nice enough
                                              To hold onto what's being lost
                                                 If she wants to be there she can go 
                                                   But I will distance myself away from her
                                                     For the protection of heart
                                                         Good friends can be good friends
                                                           But when they retaliate they slice
                                                               your heart like a knife
                                                           Nothing will ever be the same
