A Better Friend

Folder: 
2001

Wouldn't it be nice

If I could tap all my energy

Into good

Rather than wasting power

On the determined, the unchangable

I love myself, but I don't love

Some of the things that I do

Because I've caused irrepairable damage

To good people like you

I'm so sorry for all the hurtful things

That I've said

And there truly is such thing as too late

I've found

There are times that I regret not having said

The right thing

Things that would've saved me a friend

A piece of my conscious

I can't express sadness

Because it's always anger with me

Anger that things never work out

Where I'm concerned

Bad things always happen to the people I love

I know it's not my fault

But I can't help wishing that I could do more

Seeing you cry

I can't express how much it stabs

Into me

You completely deserve to be happy

Do you ever wish that I had better answers then I do

I never know what to say

When it comes to your pain

Wouldn't it be nice

If I could just make you smile

The way that you used to

I know that right now

You're just pretending for my sake

Why can't I help you

Why don't you trust me

I'm so sorry

For all of my inadequecies

I just want to be

A better friend
