Chapter 11 - My Provocative Friends

Oh my dear friends, who found solutions for the world's pain

In my case, the problem was sluggish, oh how insane

My true friends who stood by me, always close

And those who left when things got too heavy to impose

Some of my friends sold me out, without a fee

My trust was betrayed by those who ran away from me

Oh my friends, my friends, oh how two-faced you can be

Praise me to the world, but fake cheer and bring me to my knees

My friends who stayed with me during holidays and fun

But ran slowly when the night came and I was the only one

What did I do for you, my so-called friends?

When I needed you the most, you left me without amends

Oh my friends, my friends, those who became slaves to greed

You sold me out for money, with no remorse or creed

Don't come to me now, I'll hurt you, my friends

The day I called, you didn't know me, it all ends

When I have plenty, you call me "my liver"

But when I have nothing, you forget me altogether

I have no support in my hour of need, my friends

Don't come to me now, I'll hurt you, this is where it ends

Oh my friends, my friends, I trusted you with my heart

But you broke it into pieces and tore it apart

You ran away slowly without even telling me

Leaving me behind, in a world of misery

Oh my friends, my friends, I loved you all so much

But now I see your true colors, it's all just a crutch

I'll find new friends who'll stay by my side

And never sell me out, for they have nothing to hide.
