I know I haven't always known what to do
but I've always tried my hardest to be there for you
I'm not perfect, just accept it
'Cause lately, it's like you hate me
You just didn't know thatyou hurt me so
You used to care
now look at how you leave me here
all alone
Why did you go and turn your back?
What did I ever do to be treated like that?
I was faithful, I was true
And I cared so much about you
I just can't help but wonder
Why?
Did you turn your back on me?
I hope that you find your true self
Instead of being just like everyone else
And I hope that if you come back, you've grown
into being the friend that I've always known
You just didn't know thatyou hurt me so
You used to care
now look at how you leave me here
all alone
You forgot about me
And left me on my own
I miss you so much
And I'm trying to be stong
I thought you wld be here 4ever
