Lost Friendship
Reffer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once I met you and consider you my friend
Once I trust you but I was so blind
I thought I knew but left me alone
Don't you feel for it
Friendship's not something you can play
I like my friend but sure I don't like you
Only around when you fucking need me
But when I need you go

HEY, you are the friend I don't need
Selfish I don't want you around
You are the friend I don't need
I can't consider you my friend

Understand that I really need to do it
Can't you see that I have my points of view
Own conclusions try to talk first
Why do you have to hide?
I can't believe how selfish you are now
Just yourself and nothing else matters




Try to think I have my feelings too
Respect I only ask you.
