You Are Not My Friend

They say the writing’s on the wall
I could not see it 'till today
You made such fools out of us all
It took me a long time
But now I see through every part you play 'cause
You’re always the victim
Or so the story goes
Your pains and your worries
Seem to weave and bend
Don’t play me your sad song
I’ve seen you turn when you want to
Don’t tell me your secrets
You are not… my friend
So now the writing’s on the wall
And I’m Betty Davis on the stairs
The only one who sees, the greedy face behind it all
Tea and sympathy, well watch out when the hammer falls 'cause
You’re always the victim
Or so the story goes
Your pains and your worries
Seem to weave and bend
Don’t play me your sad song
I’ve seen you turn when you want to
Don’t tell me your secrets
You are not… my friend
