True Friends

I thought you were my friend, but you were just a lie,
With every smile you gave, you had a knife to hide.
You whispered in my ear, but your words were cold,
Now I see the truth, the stories left untold.
But now I've found my way, to friends who truly care,
They picked me up when you left me in despair.
With open hearts and arms, they welcomed me inside,
Now I know what real love feels like, no need to hide.
You played your little games, pretending to be true,
But every step I took, I was walking away from you.
The shadows of your lies, they faded in the light,
With my new friends beside me, everything's alright.
But now I've found my way, to friends who truly care,
They picked me up when you left me in despair.
With open hearts and arms, they welcomed me inside,
Now I know what real love feels like, no need to hide.
The past is just a memory, a lesson learned in time,
With every tear I cried, I found a stronger mind.
Now I stand with those who lift me, who see me for who I am,
No more false pretenses, just love that understands.
So here's to the new friends, who showed me what is real,
With them, I've found my happiness, a heart that starts to heal.
No more looking back, the future's shinin
