Misplaced Loyalty

I've invested too much time 
Into people I thought were genuine 
It's baffling
How many people you know 
You think have your back
But actually don't 
When you need me there
I show up 
When I need you 
It's you know I would but 
I've come to learn 
I ain't the only thing desyroying me
The other part of it is misplaced loyalty
It's crazy to me
How you could treat people like royalty 
But when I'm in a hole
They can't even throw a rope to me 
That's some bull and bull is bull
Even if it smells like potpourri 
Some people just don't care 
They'll throw you under the bus 
After you give them their bus fare 
I'm good enough to help you out 
When no one would 
But when I need you to vouch for me
It's a shoulder shrug
