Thick as Thieves

Maybe my muse is coming back? I don't know but I feel satisfied with this piece.

I remember when you said I love you

And I watched your eyes look the other way

The way your lips curled when I said the same

Foolish of me to have not seen that you were lying straight through your teeth

Now and again, I think back about our friendship

And you were the friend I deserved 

And I was the one you needed

We were just two nobodies

Lost in the halls of Hell

Searching to be somebodies

We used to laugh at them

Back then.. We didn't have a care in the world

You reassured me somebody cared

When these girls broke me apart

You were there to glue the pieces back in place

Something I thought would never change

I remember when you said I love you

And I watched your eyes look the other way

The way your lips curled when I said the same

Foolish of me to have not seen that you were lying straight through your teeth

Those nights in that small town going nowhere

Pills in our mouth, cigarettes in our hands, love in our heads but not our hearts

The night we spent side by side talking about nothing and everything,

Waking you up suddenly, you almost punched me

And I fell off the bed, maybe I should have been dead

You used to reassure me that it was okay to be myself

Lying through your teeth promising that you loved me

How foolish I was back then, as thick as thieves we used to be

Who would've known that you'd be the very thing that destroyed me?

I remember when you said I love you

And I watched your eyes look the other way

The way your lips curled when I said the same

Foolish of me to have not seen that you were lying straight through your teeth

In 2007 I met a nerdy looking girl with glasses

Who just needed a friend, how foolish I was back then
