Because you had what i wanted, what i deserve more than you did
Because i hated the way you had more friends than me
Friends with the popular kids
The way they changed you into a horrible person
Because you tried being nice to me, it only made me hate you more
There were days where we would get along like friends
Others like enemies
I don't blame you, i would hate myself too
Guess you can call me a gemini
Two-faced person, when in reality
I'm a leo, who acted like a gemini
Hating you enough knowing you'd still be kind, why?
In those years we hated each other so much, so much envy, not talking to each other, arguing over the smallest things, I would get you in trouble, you would do the same, you would mind your business, I'd always find a way to make you mad, always.
Now i look back, guilt growing inside me
Every passing second when i look at you
How could I ever hurt you now?
How could I be so harsh on you now?
Now i look at you with proud eyes, pure kindness and love
Look at us now, were best friends
Isn't that crazy?
You decided to stay, you never left my side, why?
Now if i dare say something very hurtful to you,
It will eat me on the inside
Till i'm all bones
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant those words
Or those looks
I was a kid, not that it's an excuse
For my awful behavior
Now i cant see myself bullying you, ever
I regret it, i truly do
Everyday i try and make up for what i've done
Yet you still stick by my side till this day
Thank you, for sticking with me
Throughout those years of hatred
You mean the world to me
