Spare me the sympathy
I'm sorry for your guilt
It's all so complicated
But that's how it's built
\\\\
I will not craft a plastic smile
\
nor will sappy tears be shed
I'll simply put in writing
How I feel instead
\\\\
I do feel bad,
in fact I feel rotten
but give me a weekend
\\\
and all will seem forgotten
I will not be be melancholy....
(no woe is me boo-hoo).
I simply wish to scrap alll this
and maybe say goodbye too
So here I am
avoiding every bit of cliche
But still ending up
saying the same things anyway
