I have a friend
who's in love with a boy
but this boy isn't in love with her
she doesn't know it but she's his toy
she wraps her arms around his body
like a sign of ownership
although he sleeps with her every night
he won't commit to a relationship
and it's easy to see why she holds on so tight
but looking in you can see the faulty foundation
no matter how many times i try to tell her
she doesn't see this "love" is a simple hallucination
I have a friend
who's in love with a boy
he's a liar and a cheater
but still he brings her joy
he drags her heart around like an unwanted dog
and she mistakes this ride for holding out when it gets rough
I know it's insecurity and the need for that "love"
I try to ignore her mistakes but it's getting tough
She displays her heart just like all his other girls do
She thinks she's special because he tells her so
I tell her he's a liar and cheater
But no matter how I spell it out she won't let go
And here I am
a girl without a soul to love
but I know if I did
I wouldn't allow my heart to be covered in mud
Because I know what love is
And I know it's not what my friends have
I know not to settle for second best anymore
But I guess my friends need's that attention that bad
So I go to sleep tonight without a special one to think about
Maybe I'll go to sleep thinking of a woman I never met
Because I know no love is better than false love
I know someday they'll look back on these boys and feel regret
