Pretend Friend
I would prefer an enemy to be my friend
Than having a friend who is only pretend
You’ve been caught in several lies
From what I’ve seen with my own eyes
Please don’t keep being a pretend friend to me
That’s not how our friendship is supposed to be
It’s very disappointing and it hurts a lot
To know your true friend is truly not
We’ve known each other so very long here
You know coming from me it’s all sincere
We’ve crossed a bridge with no back track
Knowing we could only just glance back
The intimacy we used to have is all over now
Maybe our friendship can be saved somehow
If you are a pretending friend with me
You are pretending to others too evidently
You’ll never find true love when you deceive
You will only get tangled in that web you weave
I do apologize for pretending to you as well
God loves us both we are not going to Hell
Now I was a pretend friend to you too
Because I didn’t tell you when I knew
The lies you told put me in a bad mood
That’s when I decided to cock an attitude
It was like a shield so you couldn’t get in
It pushed you away from being my friend
I tried to overlook the way you treated me
And pretending you cared for me intimately
We had no commitment just a deal
To be truthful and to be for real
Lies are like rubber bouncing all over the place
They bounce right back up and hit you in the face
Untruthfulness is an ugly sight to see
No matter how attractive you may be
The hurt inside comes from seeing you pretend
Especially more so because you are my friend
You owe nothing to anyone, no not you
And can do what ever it is you want to do
It’s just that it actually all boils down to
A friend is supposed to be someone true
Did you not really know what a true friend should be?
Did you forget that the true friend was supposed to be me?
A true friend is someone you are truthful to
And one who is also truthful to you
Now a one-sided deal
Means the friend is not real
And that’s the friend
I would call pretend
So please think twice before you do it to me
Unless you are sure you want our friendship to no longer be
Don’t lose this friend who wants only to encourage you
Though it would be nice for you to encourage me too
I thought I had a special friend that was true
And I really thought that one was you
Some advice from a real friend
Please don’t be a friend who becomes so pretend
Luv ya,
Florence McMillian (Flo)
