Clever Boy
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.
Why!
6. In the arms of my one true love, realize that ours was just my goddamn flaw
