you are not my friend

you remind me of my ex-wife

but I won't hold that against you

I'll just keep you out at arms' length

the way that I was meant to

I've made that mistake before

and I'm not going to make it again

let me spell it out for you:

you are not my friend

you remind me of my childhood

dramatic and traumatic at the same time

I will be away from you

the space around me is mine

I could try to get along

I could do my best to pretend

all I know is I'm not willing

you are not my friend

          pack you bags and leave

          I'll pay you no never mind

          I do my level best to believe

          you're someone I can leave behind

you remind me of my boring job

except you bore me more

looking for a way out

is an option I'll explore

you are not a lucky charm

a helping hand to lend

I am telling you goodbye

you are not my friend
