The Ones
I’m told to c u t certain people out
Because it’s good for me
I’m told that they’re no good
But what do I do
When they’re the ones?
The ones that have always been there
They’re the ones who have C
r
i
e
d to me
Cried with me
And cried for me?
When they’re the ones who I thought
Would never do something to hurt me,
What do I do then?
Because recently I’ve been hearing things
Things that they might’ve said
And it doesn’t sound like them
Sometimes I wonder
If it’s just because they’re going down the beaten path
But then I remember, they still don’t get to treat me like that.
And now I’ve finally found my worth
And I’ve been born anew
But does that mean that my faith has to be too?
I believe in the messiah
I believe in my savior
I believe in Jesus Christ
But my faith in people has changed over a short time
It’s withered away as I’ve been betrayed
And as I’ve felt the internal damage it’s done to my heart
So when I wonder about what is or isn’t good for me,
I wonder why they’re telling me,
Do they think they know what’s best for me?
Sometimes they’re right
Sometimes they’re just plain rude
And sometimes they just make me feel l
o
s t
Do I really know these people that I trust?
I think I do but how can I really know,
I’ve bared my soul into them and they just let me go
So what do I do when everyone is telling me
“Don’t be friends with her,”
All while she’s telling me to trust her
I know I should STAND up for myself
But I think they’re just saying it because they care
And don’t want me to get hurt
But what if that’s their goal
And what if I’m too naive to see it
Maybe their goal is to hurt me
So when I’m told to c u t certain people out
Because it’s good for me
When I’m told that they’re no good
I have to wonder, what do I do?
What do I do when they’re the ones?
The ones that have always been there
The ones who have c
r
i
e
d to me
Cried with me
And cried for me
What do I do when they’re the ones who I thought
Would never do something to hurt me?
What do I do then?

My ex-best friend told me that my best friend said some really bad things about me and that I should drop her. Turns out she lied to me. Hence why she's my EX-best friend.
