    This song is kind of a story about betrayal and love lost. Lot's of spoken word in addition to the singing. A driving industrial beat with a somewhat somber musical style.

    Story Behind the Song
    This was one of the first NURVIS songs. Musically, it was more or less complete when I gave it to Susan. She chose it as the platform to tell a story of a devastating event in her past - a first true love betraying and abandoning her. After she finished the lyrics, I had to change the arrangement a bit to accomodate the unusual style of singing and spoken word, but ultimately it seems to work.

    Lyrics
    I used to make you happy, remember me?
    You said I'll never hurt you, remember me?
    You know you kept me a dirty little secret - Shhh! Don't tell anyone
    Tossed me out and had your fun
    What a bad, bad boy is Yogi's son
    mean rotten little boy

    So, you're losing weight and working out
    So easy now to toss me out

    I'm not the enemy
    I was your friend to please
    I'm not the enemy
    I was your friend to tease

    I was your friend, truly loved you for you
    I was your friend, not some dumb chick to screw
    I was your friend, but now I hate you...
    because I hate me - giving myself to you
    How can you take us so lightly?
    You left so quietly

    Came on like a roar, out with a whimper
    So happy to leave, no time to grieve,
    you got a reprieve from caring or needing me

    You know you kept me a dirty little secret

    I'm not the enemy
    I was your friend to please
    I'm not the enemy
    Remember me?

    Don't know why I was savin', but I did
    Don't know what I was savin', but I was
    Don't know why all you gave was a loving illusion,
    total confusion

    Door missed your ass on your way out

    Couldn't get out fast enough, could you?

    Held you off but you felt punished

    Tossed and spat me out like left over garbage

    Little man couldn't handle real love
    Little boy ain't no grownup
    Little child, ain't no dove
    Little kid don't know what you've done,
    what you've done to me

    Think you're funny?
    Well, I'm not laughing

    Never never never again can we be more than friends
    You mean like enemies?

    Pretty please let's add you to the mix
    of the dicks
    who got their kicks
    at my expense

    Instant gratification or infant justification?

    Your lack of maturity is showing
    Impatient and growing

    And all the pretty young girls,
    in the bars and on the street

    Oh the temptations, the frustrations
    Can't he have his cake and eat it too?

    And you, and you, and her too?
