Sweet Denial

if you wanted perfection
well so sorry about that
if you were looking for loyalty
well I guess that makes two
gave my all, you gave me none
hoped for gratitude
instead I was left with a big fuck you

walked away
but I had something to say
and that is I'm not ok
but I will take care of mine
used to think I needed that routine
when it was you
who should have appreciated me
all those years I take with me
building a life without drama

smoked up
blown out
nothing but a burning in my chest
thrown down
put out
bad habits aren't worth the pain

I guess I'm just not your style
you're more into sweet denials
I'm more like a rottweiler
and you a scared little puppy dog
complaining about the mundane
then throwing away a good thing
