Please, don't get me wrong here

I never meant to grow this hate for you

It has a mind of its own, you see

And it just crept into my heart, so softly

Now, there isn't much else for me to do

Than sit over here, despising you

Come on now, don't be surprised

With that forked tongue of yours

It can't have come right out of the blue

You let the words slip in the very beginning

I know I'm not the only one gone running

Not that baffling, having seen you true

For there isn't much you wouldn't do

To feel a little bigger, a little better

Than the people surrounding you

That little trait of yours leads me

To the last remaining mystery

I honestly don't have the slightest clue

Why you feel like you have to

Be the greatest in any given room

Never knew anyone else before

With an ego that can't fit through the door
