Thriving on Apology
The devil is a liar.
You never did what's right
seeing with 20/20 hindsight
you always fucked up
then idealized the make-up
that's what excited you
somehow I always knew
you'd never make me happy
thriving on apology
You were never there
you never wanted to be where
I was hanging with my friends
you made me miserable
till the end
always looking for something to complain about
and then you say
I'm insane?
What gives you the right to come into my life
and act
like your the only one who knows
the facts
I happened to have live
a life
and know a few
like
you're a complete jackass
so... what's new?
Tell me something I don't know
and maybe I'll hear
your blah blah
jibber jabber
you hold so dear
to yourself
cuz no one cares
especially not me cuz
I know what's coming next
You're thriving on apology
You see
I can see what's happening
you don't really love me
you just think it's easy
to be cheesy
and get down on your knees
and beg pleeeeeaase
I'll change
I'll do better
I'll be a different man...
Well honey,
That's the first thing you've said
since we've met
that holds even a remote bit of truth to it
because I won't be taken by some slob
who doesn't know how to hold down a job
who thinks he's gods gift to the universe
when in reality
it's quite the reverse.
You're the devil in disguise
I can see it in your eyes
stay away from me
can't you see
I don't thrive on apology
