Crossed the Line
Friends
I know I said I'd be nothing without them
I said whenever they'd need me
I'd always be there
I'd always be right there
I said I don't throw away friends
I said, I said, I said
and no one knows this more than Ariel
Ariel, I've known her for years
been to hell and back with Ariel
been there for Ariel ever since we met
Ariel, she was my best friend
at least for awhile
Was it really just an illusion in my head
I spent so much time grieving
when her parents separated us
I spent so much time tearing my hair out
worrying if she was alright
when she was sent away
I spent so many sleepless nights
comforting her when she completely breaking down
Was it really all for nothing
was it really all for nothing
Ask her
she's put on a new set of skin
like a snake
she's put on a new set of skin
now suddenly she's a different someone
She's always starting stupid fights
stupid fights and stupid arguments
Even when she knows I'm right
Ariel, she tries to find a loophole
to point the blame right back at me
So I'm douche now huh?
So I'm the jerk now huh?
but you claim you love me?
but you claim you wanna marry me?
Thanks but no thanks
Forget you
Forget this
This is where I draw the line
Anytime I wanted I could show you how I feel
This is me crossing the line
I want you back, I want my friend back
not some heartless wench
dousing herself in makeup
like she's dousing a fire in gasoline
I'm waiting for you
to get that feeling once again
reunited in the end
I've been waiting for you
to capture imagination
cause you're not the Ariel I know in my head
Trapt
you can say it louder than I can
but I doubt it you could even get it through her thick skull
I'm crossing the line
but I don't care
I want my friend back
not some heartless wench
with brand new skin
dousing herself in makeup
like I'm dousing fire with gasoline
upon the bridge between you and I
Goodbye...
