I am a bad friend sometimes...
I demand things
I demand time and attention
And sometimes...
I don't want to hear your name mentioned
I pick on every little flaw
I try to fix you
I prefer my image of you in my head
But not everyone is like me
I should understand that, but instead...
I play on your emotions
Just because you care
I may get a little too passionate
Just to get you somewhere.
I stopped to think that sometimes
I can be very selfish
If it wasn't in my nature
I would have noticed
But it is and I can no longer ignore it.
I am self-righteous and melodramatic,
Just a little bit over-the-top,
I don't how you put up with me
When I never seem to stop.
I'm a little too blunt
And as bad as that is
If I was anything else, I'd be a liar
I'm working on it, it is what it is
Let's not leave out moody
Yeah, there's a lot to say about that
This moment you and I are good
And the next, the relationship is flat
I can't seem to compose myself
Being two sides of a coin
I'm not a making an excuse
I know I'm miserable
And not that alone makes me obtuse
I blame the whole world
For not understanding me
But sometimes I misunderstand myself
And while I think everybody needs me
I need the most help
I accept you all though,
I love you beyond measure.
And even though I complain so much,
Your absence in my life would be a great displeasure.
