lyrics

You came five years late,
You had nothing to contribute,
nothing on your plate,
But still,
You took the one thing I had.

Does it make you feel you've won?
Shining down like God's favorite son.

You say I'm partly to blame,
indignation on her half like a lover's flame,
And still,
You have the nerve to say.

She wouldn't want it any other way,
On your arm day after day.

You look me straight in eye,
Bragging about all the times that you've made her cry,
And still,
How she misses you so.

Does it warm you that she doesn't feel?
The same for me and the friendship you steal.

Where were you when she needed you?
Out to the boonies she ran to precious friendship new,
And still,
You can't come to her aide.

Can you blame her for the choice she's made?
You're nowhere near, you're MIA!
