i'm really not a bad person
stop hating me i should've lied
been like most of them
puckered up i should've cried
it's not like they could see me
seen my face as i hide
honesty's a bitch in Battersy
yeah a bitch that should've died
instead of the what's,
the reality of what we have
and because the world continues
someone here is feeling bad
reality's reality and time?
well that stayed true
the rules desired broken
simply because their hearts are too
i tried my best to be nice
but deep inside i'm full of snark
and given this very medium
i'm mighty stuck, my bites my bark
tried to hold it in, all my might
but i'm too crass
and when i'm highly strung
we'll say i'm strung and talk to fast
i might've bit my lip more
but then who would've told the truth
i know it weren't my place
but somehow i was there let loose
someone had to say it
they just had to, sad it's me
and i would've applauded them
stood up tall and clapped gladly
it's sad that i'm the one
and that they felt someone did wrong
and that i feel shitty for trying hard
and keeping on
i guess it's double standards
i should embrace and learn to lie
i'm being made to feel guilty...
for being an honest guy.
