Analysis of Clever Boy
1. Boy, it was your initiative,
Something I kept inside.
Stories you told me about her
Twisted my hate with a knife.
2.Lies you spew to keep me close,
While you called her your rose.
It took a whole lifetime; I finally realized
That I was just a back-up plan,
A sick thought you and her devised,
Someone you just couldn't stand
3. In a bid to let her have some fun with other boys.
You said I was in your heart yet
Saved her contact as "Emergency",
Blocked me at pass three.
Never thought I was clever.
Guess I was right—
I should have seen this coming
Since you kissed her on our wedding night.
6. In the arms of my one true love, realize that ours was just my goddamn flaw
