So Call Best Friend

[VERSE 1}
We used to say that
We will always be best friends forever
Through the good times and the bad
We will do everything together
But sometimes I can’t help to think that you are a1

[CHORUS]
So call best friend
Pretending to be nice
Using me because you have no one else to turn to
Treating me like dirt
You think you know everything
And that you are better than me
Whatever happened to the days
Where you were nice to me
And always stuck by me?
Thanks so much for being my
So call best friend2

[VERSE 2]
Best friends are something you have for life
Who never leaves your side
Sometimes I don’t understand why you left me
You are always acting like you don’t need me
But you always come running to me
When you need a shoulder to cry on
I’m always the last to know everything that happens
And when I don’t tell you something
You hate me for not telling you
I tell you my secrets about who I like
Trusting you to keep them
I kept yours
So why would you want to tell everyone my secrets and who I like
When I don’t want anyone to know it except you
Sometimes I can’t help but think that you are a 3

[CHORUS]4

[INSTRUMENTAL]5

[VERSE 3]
I was always there when you needed me
I help you when you needed help
I was there when your world was going down the drain
But every time I needed you to be by my side
You weren’t always there to support me
You are just a so call best friend (so call best friend)6

[CHORUS X 2]

Author notes

This is just a song that I wrote while being bored. And I think that I also wrote after listening to Simple Plan's songs "Thank You" and "Crash and Burn"
which are about friends betraying each other. And I guess that this song is the same. I kind of want to turn it into a story someday, but so far I'm not quite sure how to turn it into a story so in the mean time it is just a song.

    Hmm. I can definitely relate to this song. So called 'best friends' that just use you, and when they have some other person to talk to, leave you alone.
    Sad thing is, it has happened to me so many times, it's kind of sad.
    Well done on the lyrics, meaningful and relatable (Is that even a word???)

    I love it, I could really connect because this has happened to me over and over again. It's wonderful, it brought back memories of 4th grade, and then 6th grade, and then 7th grade. Life's not fair, and it sucks, you really portrayed that well. I love your poem, it's idea, it's length, it's language. So very realistic and personal. I couldn't find any errors, so all I have left to say is GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR STORY!! :-)

      Yeah, I relate to the story too, and yes it is a personal experience that I had, and by listening to Simple Plan I learnt the way they wrote the lyrics so I could write my own. Not only would I like to have this as a story, I would also like it to be a song. I would like Simple Plan to sing it but I don't know if they would take the song or how I could sent it to them.
