yeah this is all getting me a little stressed
but to be honest i'm mostly just impressed
that you went to all that work to get yourself dressed
up as my friend, you caked on makeup that covered your fakeness
you said you cared, but i know you didn't care
i guess if i think hard enough i can decide
that i never loved you because i never tried
you can hate me for that, hate me that i lied
but you wouldn't haven't wanted the truth
i just told you what you wanted to hear
i could call you a work of art
because you're certainly something
and you definitely need work
but "art" is a beautified term
that you just don't deserve
your problem is you think too much of yourself
but all your trophies just collect dust on your shelf
you're vainer than i am, and i think a lot of myself
i know i'm narcissistic so what does that say about you?
you put yourself on a pedastal for all that you do
which isn't all that much, considering
you don't consider others, but you like to say you always
put others before you put you
but darling, that's not something words can claim
only actions can prove
