Through My Eyes

Through my eyes, i've lost you as a friend.
Although we promised on forever, I knew eventually we'd have to end.
I used to know you like the back of my mind,
But lately i'm not so sure.
You know you used to be my hero?
You used to be my savior.
Now you just tear me down with every little stare.
And as i search for you, you are no longer there.
Lost in a sea of confusion.
Why oh why, did i let myself fall for this lovely delusion?
Picture you and i, walking hand in hand.
But you've become someone so different.
Someone i no longer understand.
So sit there and let the addictions consume you.
Nothing else matters, right? It's the only thing you know how to do.
I'm done trying to help, because to you it doesn't matter.
It's like you find amusement, in watching our friendship shatter.
I love you, but the only thing you love is the high.
You're living out your life based on a lie,
And i'm done.
Through my eyes, this is goodbye.

Blessing in disguise.. Time to look elsewhere. This one is a lost cause.
