reach a hand out, that is unknown to me.
and falling for lies, now that's the reality.

i don't make mistakes,
yet sometimes i try—

these fakers who see me,
wish i'd be their royalty

don't give me that sass
hon, i've heard it before

when you left all your feelings
and walked through the door

yeah, i know it ain't true
you and your act done flew

go on—ain't there any more?
nah, those knees on the floor

my compassionate lover
you screwed me right over

now i'm sitting upright

and you're the sly sight
yeah, our hand holding's unknown to me.
but your lies—now, that's the reality.

i don't make mistakes
and i chose not to try

you're a faker you see
and the royalty's me

goodbye.

m.y.
