The Lesson

I thought you were my friend
I thought you were a blessing
Instead  I paid the price
You were just another lesson. 

To you I was a friend
But you couldnt be to me
I saw the best in you 
I wanted to see you succeed. 
 i called you my best friend 
And you pretended to be. 
But then the mask fell off.  
Revealing the  enemy.
I looked past all your flaws
And all your ugly parts
I gave you the broken pieces 
And all the love left in my heart. 

 I thought you were my friend
I thought you were a blessing
For that I paid a price
You were just another lesson
turns out I was your blessing. 

I was your friend
I was there for you
I gave you something special
Before I knew the real you. 

I was your friend 
I was your blessing 
But you didn't care 
I was just another lesson

I hope you see that now
And realize what you lost
You couldn't see what you had 
And we both paid the cost. 

Cuz I was your friend 
I was your blessing
I hope you miss me
I hope you learned your lesson.
