Find Out Who Your Friends Are

How did I get here?
When did I start hating you?
Actually, I know when
When I felt alone
When I was hurt
And you made them all turn against me

Almost all

For I still have some people who give a damn
Some people who hate you instead
Some people who don't wish me dead
Or threaten me with the opposite
I'm not afraid of YOU dying
I'm afraid of ME dying

Because in the end, 
That would hurt them more
And I can't hurt my real friends.
Leave them ignored.
All alone.

Almost all.

For I still have Courage
And Betrayal
And Anger
And Hurt
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
