You Were My Friend

You came in my home and took from me
All that I had to give
I thought that we would be good friends
For as long as we should live
I had some past experience with
People just like you
But I never thought you were that kind
So what was I to do
You were my friend, you were my friend
How can you stand and lie to me
And look me in the face
I wish I knew what strange disease
Could make you act that way
All the things we did together
I've known you for so long
I always did believe in you
How could I be so wrong?
You were my friend, you were my friend
How could you let me down? You were my friend
I guess for the sake of all we had
I should try to understand
But it just doesn't make much sense to me
To trust in you again
I wish we could forget it all
But I don't think that we can
Oh, why did this ever happen to us
My best and dearest friend
You were my friend, you were my friend
How could you let me down?
You were my friend
..Well, I guess that friendships
All come to an end.
