Our Mean Sides

I'd rather you remember me with a smile than a frown.
How can I keep myself from putting you down?
I get so angry and the words just keep on coming out.
All the nice disappears, but with the mean you lose count.

Do you realize how rude you are to me?
Does it really take a genius to see?
They all blame me and I don't understand.
They don't see the things behind the curtain.

I want to be loved with passion and need.
I don't want lust with just deceit and greed.
I hate the times when we're harsh.
I don't want yet another restart.

I know I'm mean, but I'm trying.
I wouldn't say it if I were lying.
I feel so bad when you get that sad look on your face.
I want to erase it and make happiness take it's place.

I'll try harder from now on.
My mean and rude side is gone.
I'll be sweet and show you that I appreciate you.
I hope you'll notice it and maybe appreciate me too.
