You Promised

Think again if you thought you could use me
Thought you were my friend but you're nothing
Talk to me like I'm not a lady
I'll teach you a little something

Been in love with me all these years
Never got over me, how sweet
Too bad I never loved a married man
Didn't you wonder why there was nothing from me?

Back then you'd be so lewd, so gross
My boyfriend's best friend, so it's a joke
I had no confidence in you back then, I did lately
But you think you can just talk crazy to me?
I'll break your heart again, I still know how

I hate you for killing our friendship
One of the few people I actually talked to
You promised to always have my back
Now you broke my faith like so many others
I say it's fair game now hun
To break your heart when you think you won

UHHGGG...Why do men think they can hide feelings for years and then smear them all over out relationships at will with no consequence. There are times when you hit a breaking point and it's just time to hit back. Makes me wonder if men and women can ever just exists as friends, without anything more ever coming in to ruin it all. Nice job! ~Jan
