Asshole

Hi... I'm an asshole.

I take pleasure in watching while you cry in pain.

I enjoy locking you out of the house to be stuck out in the rain.

I'm that son of a bitch who comes from behind to push you down the stairs.

I'm that lazy mother fucker who sits by the car while his girlfriend puts on the spare.

Hi... I'm an asshole.

I tried to be nice

But it didn't work.

I tried to be caring

But... it only hurt

I started not caring

And it started to work...

But you could go to Hell.

Now all I do

Is think of ways

To make you hurt

And feel my pain

You liked it at first

But you started to change

You wanted the old me

But I liked this game.

So no more flowers

No endearing remarks

No rose-petal showers

No more walks in the park

You want me to hold your hand

Well you could hold it on your own

You brought out this side of me

So bitch, leave me alone

You call me an asshole

As you walk away

And with an upraised middle-finger,

I scream, "You gave me that name!"
