Under city lights, the bonds seemed so tight
Rise above the ashes, with newfound strength I'm found
I thought I had it all, a close circle of friends
I know what I deserve, and real love will be there
Open my heart, where true loyalty's displayed
It hurts to let go, to acknowledge the pain
Yearning for connections, built on trust and care
We'd laugh until dawn, have each other's backs, through thick and thin
But I'm better off now, free from their toxic chain
Felt like a king with an army, always there
Real connections waiting to be made
But shadows whispered truths, hidden from my sight
So I'll keep my heart open, my eyes wide awake
Left me feeling lost, my trust wearing thin
When the going got tough, they scattered in the wind
Won't be fooled by their plastic crowns
Turns out they were just pretending, with secrets to hide
I believed they had my back, always by my side
I'll focus on healing, on finding my way
Blindly trusted hearts, tales of loyalty proclaimed
They kept a running score, my worth they'd try to steal
No more false pretences, or half-hearted care
Now I see their friendship was never truly real
But when the tide turned rough, and I needed them the most
They vanished in the night, leaving me like a ghost
To friendships that uplift, come what may
Always judging my flaws, never lifting me high
Leaving me drained, as they silently passed by
Never saw the cracks, until the light of shame
Seeking out true friends, no longer a mistake
