We used to laugh we used to talk
Thought we had a bond but it was all just a walk
Through a forest full of whispers deceit and disguise
With eyes so kind but hearts full of lies
They take and they take never giving in return
Leaving you empty with nothing to learn
They smile so sweet then vanish in the night
Leaving you wondering was it ever right?
Friends are snakes with endless wants
Taking all you give leaving you to haunt
They slither away like shadows in the breeze
Gone like a dream with such ease
Promises made but never kept
Trust betrayed while you slept
They played the game so cunning so sly
But in the end it's all goodbye
They take and they take never giving in return
Leaving you empty with nothing to learn
They smile so sweet then vanish in the night
Leaving you wondering was it ever right?
Friends are snakes with endless wants
Taking all you give leaving you to haunt
They slither away like shadows in the breeze
Gone like a dream with such ease
Lessons learned in the hardest way
Trust is earned not given away
Guard your heart protect your soul
From those who leave a gaping hole
Friends are snakes with endless wants
Taking all you give leaving you to haunt
They slither away like shadows in the breeze
Gone like a dream with such ease
Now I know now I see
Not all friends are who they seem to be
So I'll stand strong keep my guard
Protect my heart never let it scarred
