I don't like your ways your bad attitude
I feel sorry for myself because of you
Excuse me for trying to be so grateful
For all the trust and honesty
You didn't fucking deserve it
I kind of feel sorry for the way you are
People like you, you will never make it far
I'm depressed 'cause I've wasted my time
Somehow real embarrassed how hard I was trying
