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
