You Had a Friend I Never Had
You couldn't cope with being you so you didn't help me,
the struggle was too great, no time was free,
you'd mock me when I'd speak out of pure need
to stop me 'cus you're weak and so I would leave
You couldn't cope with being you and you'd turn to me
seeing you struggle I'd set time free
non stop talking for your relief
forgotten in a week when you found self belief
you had a friend that i never had
yours pulled you up whilst mine made me sad
you healed and were glad whilst I went mad
you had a good friend and my friend was bad
you choose to see me as mentally broken
it makes you feel you're good at coping
your fake composure betters my brutally open
yet I quit the cannabis that you are still smoking
