Ridiculous Friend

You got it in your head it’s okay to make up excuses 
you’re only letting me down proving yourself to be useless 
continuously lie until your lie is accepted 
left feeling uncomfortable when your lie is rejected 

every year on my birthday you do exactly the same 
building up to it coming but on the day it’ll change 
a last second situation will arise just the same 
and you won’t be coming because you’re busy again 

when really you’re selfish and fear honesty  
making out that you’re helpless always lying to me 

so I don’t invite you that way you cannot drop out 
still you say you are coming and there isn’t a doubt 
but then on the day the unseen comes about 
expect me to waste time hearing lies out your mouth 
even though I ain’t asked you and never I cared 
you start telling me lies I thought I would be spared 
it bothers I’m nonchalant to the story you’ve shared  
like you need me believe you the reasons why you won’t be there 

so you follow me around and keep repeating the lie 
as I say I don’t care before saying goodbye 
so you can get on with what you need to tonight 
but you reappear many times through the night 
when you’re supposed to be busy you appear in my sight 

so you’re here to tell me why you cannot be here 
and as it’s my birthday I’ve no desire to hear 
but you’re annoyed at the effort that this lie is creating 
I don’t seem to accept it as I say you are faking 
insanity is when you expect a different result 
but you carry on lying each time’s an insult 

I’m in a club at this point you appear at the door 
demand I come outside to hear you lying once more 
but I don’t come quickly it’s my birthday I’m sure 
when I go outside you’re angry at me to the core  
because I took too long and it’s me you’re here for 
I’m wasting your time as you say the same as before 
all of your focus is on me believing your lie 
until it’s achieved you can’t go home satisfied 
and get stoned out your face the true reason that you lie 
annoyed that I don’t believe you and that I never asked why 
think you’re my best mate and can do what you like 
making it clear you’re only selfish inside 
treating me worthless as you repeatedly lie 
but you weren’t invited and have harassed me all night 
you only think about you I want you out of my life
