How many times did I forgive you
Thinking it was my duty as your friend
But now I’ve come to realize
If I just keep forgiving it’s never gonna end

When you hurt everyone that loves you
Keep us hanging by a thread
You put us down when we’re not around
You’ve got to change
And I’m tired of blaming myself

‘cause I’m not a real friend to you
If I don’t get mad at you
For doing the things you do
That hurt everybody so
And I just can’t stand aside
When you don’t seem to realize
That you’re destroying yourself
And everything around you

We’ve all grown so used to your bad moods
We don’t even bother asking you what’s wrong
But tonight I won’t let you walk away
You’re gonna have to stay and explain
What’s eating you
Come on open up now
That’s what I’m here for

‘cause I’m not a real friend to you
If I don’t get mad at you
For doing the things you do
That hurt everybody so
And I just can’t stand aside
When you don’t seem to realize
That you’re destroying yourself
And everything around you
