Friend Was Your Name
Rebuilding Trust and Facing Betrayal: Friend Was Your Name by Bloody Sunday
Lyrics
I'm taking a look
I'm reflecting on the past
Back at the mess
Looking back at the chaos
The stains
Noticing the marks of difficulty
The smell
Sensing the unpleasant odor
But now is the test
Now is the moment of evaluation
Rebuild the trust
Rebuilding the trust
Of my friends that are left
Reestablishing connections with remaining friends
Think I'll be back
Considering a return
I wouldn't hold your breath
Don't expect it to happen soon
For everything
Reflecting on all actions
You've done
Acknowledging the deeds
I stand stronger
Emerging stronger as a person
As the man that I've become
Claiming personal growth
And I won't pretend
Not pretending to be family
Were blood
Realizing the value of earned experience
Hard earned lessons
When you cause pain
When you hurt
Hurting those you care about
Hurt the ones you love
Consequences of hurting loved ones
My hands are tied for once
Feeling helpless in the situation
Only through Him
Seeking forgiveness from a higher power
Forgiveness for all of the wrong that you've done
Forgiveness for past wrongs
It would've hurt a lot worse
Acknowledging potential pain
When you ripped my heart from my chest
Intense emotional pain when betrayed
If I wasn't already dead from the knife in my back
Already feeling hurt before the betrayal
Friend was the name
Highlighting the lost friendship
That you lost when your face changed
Friendship lost due to a change in character
All this was insecurity
Recognition of insecurity as a factor
Your part defiling me
Your actions defiling my part in this
Friendships were born
Friendships born
Friendships will die
Acknowledging the inevitable end of friendships
But in between
Lies present between friendships
Were the lies
Deception and untruths
So close to you
Closeness to someone
So far from new
Distant from something new
We've all seen you
Observing the actions of an individual
Can't believe we're through
Disbelief in the end of the relationship
Find a sucker you can leech on to
Finding someone to take advantage of
