Masquerade

Sitting here and reading your thoughts, my heart sinks once again
 'Cause I caught you in another lie, find no truth in what you said
 You say that you'll hurt my feelings
 You say I won't understand
 I say you're just a coward
 Just a counterfeit friend
 And all the times I've been there, they didn't mean a thing
 At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me
 And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?
 Because I'm still your friend even if you don't want me to be
 My promises are haunting me, not so easily shoved aside
 And yet I keep on trying to finally justify
 Taking every single word back, every pledge I ever made
 Because the friend I swore them to was nothing but a masquerade
 And all the times I've been there, they didn't mean a thing
 At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me
 And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?
 Because I'm still your friend even if you don't want me to be
 Then you ask if something's wrong
 If only you could hear this song
 You'd just make up some lame excuse
 So it's no use (It's no use) listening to you
 And all the times I've been there, they didn't mean a thing
 At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me
 And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?
 Because I'm still your friend even if you don't want me to be
 What do you do when you're not lying, do you have other words to say?
 Why do I have to try so hard to keep from pushing you away?
 I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?
 Because I'm still your friend even if you've never been one to me
