I was playing around with some guitar chords and themes and suddenly there was a song. The lyrics came easily, as it was something that had occupied my mind: Friendships that seem to fade away and leave you feeling a little betrayed.
Story behind the song
Watching friendships fade away, sometimes leaves you feeling a little betrayed.
Lyrics
Sometimes I wonder why, youre never around.
We used to be quite close and I never let you down.
Did you realize, how they laughed behind your back?
Did you know how often, I had to defend you and tell them
That you were all right?
I guess thats just the way
That life can sometimes play a trick on you.
A lesson to be learned,
That loyalty does not always pay off (pay off).
I saw a picture of you, just the other day.
I hardly recognized you, you didnt look the same.
I used to call you friend, but then I realized,
There were so many others that you did prefer to me
I was at the bottom of your hierarchy.
I guess thats just the way
That life can sometimes play a trick on you.
A lesson to be learned,
That loyalty does not always pay off (pay off).
I guess well see each other, from time to time.
And we will both pretend that everything is fine.
But your star with me, has declined over time.
I still call you friend and we go a long way back.
But when they whisper liar, I may not have your back.
I guess thats just the way
That life can sometimes play a trick on you.
A lesson to be learned,
That loyalty does not always pay off (pay off).
