lyrics

When I first met you we seemed to really get along
But things changed along the way so now I'm singing you this song
You were a cool enough person/ We had some interests that we shared
When I needed a helping hand it seemed you really cared
I'd do the same for you to me it wasn't a big deal
Because the friendship that we had seemed to me was real
I thought that we could kick it/ Build a friendship from the ground
I see the signs/ I ignore them/ I hope you do not let me down

Chorus

Don’t let me down

I'm the kind of person that usually keeps to myself
It's just me and my dog and cats and hardly anyone else
Except three close friends and of course my daughter too
The folks I make music with I consider true
But for the most part I don't trust many people at all
'Cause people they will burn you and watch you slowly fall
Then all that's left is disappointment, tears and a frown
But you can be my friend just please don't let me down

Chorus

So now you ask me how I'm doing/ You ain't see me in weeks
You don't really want the answer/ You just wait your turn to speak
So self-absorbed thinking life orbits around you
Maybe in some circles this may turn out to be true
But see, I see us as equals and I give friendship a go
I keep letting your ass back ‘til I can't stand you no more
Then I will cut you off and walk away and leave without a sound
Now I'm giving you this chance so please don't let me down

Chorus

So wait - now you treating me like dirt/ Acting like your shit don't stink
But you're way ahead of yourself/ Maybe you should stop and think
You are not a special flower/ You and I and all are the same
Please believe that in the end with selfishness there's no gain
You lose some friends and yourself with the hype that you believe
Often times inflated egos can blind and deceive
I know you think I'm being self-righteous and I should just go away
But real life is not a stage/ You’ll learn this one day, so please...

Chorus
