Fucked up world

You might believe someone loves you until they have what they want from you.
They'll have you believe you're the only one,
Flowers, midnight calls and good morning massages.
They'll have believe you're in love, have you open parts of your heart you've sworn not to let anyone in.
You'll bring down your every wall and give in.
You might believe someone loves you until they have what they want from you.
It's a fucked up world we live in.
Your friend will swear they'd die for you if it's to come to that.
They will cry with you when you cry,
They'll be there to share your every smile.
They'll promise they have your back until you turn around.
They'll push you to the ground and laugh when you hit the deck.
Always waiting for the moment you're not looking so that they can shove their spears.
It's a fucked up world we live in.
No one wants you to have what they don't have.
Nobody wants you to be the best you can.
Even your neighbor wishes you not be better than their child.
Even the preachers in churches are pushing their own agenda.
Even those we've voted into parliament before they aid you they'll put their self first.
It's a fucked up world we live in.
