cold hard truth
why do we pretend we care ?
out of sight, out of mind
it is but a fleeting compassion
that simply disappears in time
because if push came to shove
really, what would you do ?
how far would you go out of your way ?
if it didn't benefit you
we usually talk a good game
but really, talk is cheap
and we are distracted so easily
when we only see defeat
the cold hard truth is simple
we don't really want all that fuss
and to save our own asses
we would just as soon ...
throw you under the bus
