Queen of every last parade
But there’s always something you have to cry about
Rotten, tainted
Pouting like it’s gone out of style
I would’ve waited but my patience faded
Cause you didn’t even try
You sit there staring right at me
You make your quick analogies, then I’m tossed away
I don’t understand you at all
Saving face for you is a simple formality
l don’t understand you at all
Your act grows old, better think and look at yourself
You’ve just built your wall
Just look at yourself.
Living by the rights of denial
You will not, cannot bargain a chance to win
Burning envy
Refuse to be part of your trial
You don’t even know when you’re burning out
Living on a cloud
Spent countless hours by the phone
You said you needed time alone, every single day
You took life slowly out of me
And I know I’d rather be going where I’m bound
I’m stating the reality
Taking what’s left inside of me
I won’t be your world’s clown
I don’t really like you at all
You’ve just created your own formality
I don’t really like you at all
