When everything is wrong,
And nothing is right,
A true friend,
Would help you in flight,

When a secret is out,
And everything,
Is blamed on you,
A true friend would
Tell who it was
If they knew

But my friend
Lets me keep blame
Won’t tell the secret
Won’t be ashamed.
Lets it be my fault
When she knows the secret

That friend isn’t true
She’s not someone
To be with
She rather let me
Take all the blame
Then let the perpetrator
Fall under shame.

The author's comments:
Stuck in the middle. Getting all the blame. That is what is happening to me right now. Caroline likes Jake, and told me. Somehow Casey found out and now Caroline thinks I told her. But that isn’t true… someone else did and Casey is letting me take the blame.
