Don't Mend my Broken Heart

You keep playing tricks with my mind.
Saying hello than shutting the door.
All of this is wasting my time.
I’ve given all I've got, you haven't given a dime.

You have a nerve to call me your friend.
I'm your bestfriend you say?
Than why is it you ignore me everyday?
You say we're close as can be,
Well, I sure can't see.

You go about with no care in the world.
As if I don't exist.
And you see me standing there in your mist.
Show me you care about me, I insist.

Words don't mean a thing if your actions don't match up.
If you think I'm gonna stick around you've just ran out of luck.
You and I both know the truth.
You can twist your face up all you want.
And not even glance at me even once.

I was breathing air before you crossed my heart.
I don't think I'll die when you leave your marks.
If you don’t want this friendship why should I cry?
No tears coming from these eyes.
I don't need to write a sad song.
I'm already gone.

I’m tired of wondering why, you can't even say hi.
Your excuses are full of air.
I’m at the point where I don’t even care.

Look at me and what do you see?
The girl who would stand up for you even in your worst crime?
Or the girl you talk to online as a pastime?
I must admit, we've have some good times.

We've had many memories, I could make a list.
This doesn't mean that you'll be missed.
I'm on my own just doing me.
I shake my head,
'Cause a jerk is all you'll
ever be.
