*real Friends*

Even though it took some time I think i've finally realized
                          Who my real friends are
   The ones that are rarely there but still expect the same title
                          Are the fake ones
               and I can try to keep holding on 
                But the thread is getting so thin 
                    it might snap at any moment
                    Ask yourself a set of questions
                    Have you really been there for me?
                 Ask yourself if you really care about me?
                  Cause everytime I turn around I get burned 
                        and it's all your fault 
                    I shouldn't feel uncomfortable around you
                      I shouldn't feel the need to force how I feel 
                         If you feel that your being left out
                          It's probably because you are
                           I feel like it's not fair how you treat me
                            you never stand up for me
                           and you constantly hang around
                              people that like to bring me down
                               But now that I finally see 
                             what is really in frount of me
                          I can access who has really been loyal to me
                             and right now you haven't been such a good friend
                                 I kept forgiving you time and time again
                                 cause I valued this friendship 
                                      and I wanted it to last 
                                   But i've finally figured out  
                                     who my real friends are
                                     Sorry you feel left out
                                       It's just the way things need to be
                                            to keep my sanity
