My heart, that you’ve stolen, is breaking.
It hurts so much not having you here
I know the answer is in my hands
But they’re tied up behind my back

My only hope of freedom… I need a sense of control
A part of me that’s normal
Maybe it’s of the world, but that doesn’t matter now
I'm careening off this road

You told me, you’d always be behind me
I can’t really tell if that was a lie
You know that game? Called trust?
I think I just hit the floor.

What I really want to say
Without all the poetic nonsense,
Is that I can’t function without your friendship
I can’t breathe knowing you don’t care

So close, too close,
and yet so very far.
I just want to have your friendship
I never want any more than that

I don’t want her to be jealous
And I don’t want you to leave
I don’t want to be left out again
If only you knew how I bleed.

If you thought about me
Like I thought about you
I know that we wouldn’t be here
And I'm sorry that it isn’t true.

There’s no rhyme, or reason, here.
There’s nothing of importance to say
This isn’t about what I can come up with,
I'm just trying to get it out.

Out of my heart, out of my mind
And off my chest, if you will
I guess it’s sad you won’t read this
Now, I think I’ll take the blue pill.

Give it a week, and you’ll forget me
Because I know that’s the way that they want it
Give it a month, and you wont have a choice
Because you chose to not have a voice.

I’ll shout and scream,
If I thought you would listen
But it’s obvious that you don’t care.
You care enough, only, about them, to stay away
‘cause friends… too much for her to bear.

I want you to know I don’t care.
Whatever it is that they say.
But it’s oh so hard to fight for you
When you keep on walking away.

If you stay gone, I swear my heart
Will close up, stop beating, decease.
Life wasn’t meant to be lonely
But you would rather them, than me.

So maybe, after all this,
There’s just one thing I want you to know
I’ll be here, when she’s gone.
Because that’s how it always goes.

I’ll be the one.
I’ll put your friendship back together
Then I’ll shrink back into the dark.

"You, took what you wanted and left, like locusts,
Everything i gave to you, everything that we've been through,
You, bled me dry and then went, like leeches,
Go, you got what you came for now leave, like vultures

Ripped apert in minutes, what was built in seven years,
the ink scarred on your back, may as aswell of disappeared,
for as long as i remember you sold everything you owned,
but now you sold our friendship, your on your f***ing own,

Sleep with one eye open
(because)
Sleep with one eye open...

If i had it my way id slit your throat
with the knife that you left in my back,
all this shame, all this guilt, all this regret,thats me,
im inside of you (x4)
and this is your world f***ing falling apart mate,
from the inside out, everything will fall apart at you feet,
you've got hell to pay, yeh you've got hell to pay,
you better f***ing bow, bow down to me, you better beg for mercy,
get on your f***ing knees, and cry me a f***ing river

Sleep with one eye open
Sleep with one eye open

Best friends means forever
Best friends means forever .."

-Bring Me The Horizon - Sleep With One Eye Open


I didnt choose these lyrics because I'm angry at you... Just because they remind me of us. and what used to be, and what hopefully will be again.

I know this is long and i'm not expecting anyone to read it. it's not even really poetry. there's barely even rhythm. but it's what i would say to you if you were standing here, and if you actually understood the meaning behind what i'm trying to say.

as much as an unrequited best friend can, i love you. i know i've probably lost you, but that doesnt change the fact that you loved me as well. in whatever way, on whatever level.

best friends may not last forever physically, but in my heart, no one ever, ever, ever knew me like you do.

I really like this piece. I think it has meaning in not only my life, but many others as well. You really hit the nail on the head with this one :)
