Half Right

Well you shouldn't doctor yourself
Well i pictured somebody else
Someone who looks like
What i look like
Would you say that the one of your dreams
Got in you and ripped out the seams
That's what i'd say
That's what i'd say
He was a sucker for your double dose
Motherfucker turned white as a ghost
Don't you say hi
Don't you say hi
With your broken sink for a face
In a head that just takes up space
He's not half right
He's not half right
It's already half past
And it won't last
I was sticking up for my friend
Well there's nothing much to defend
It's a lost fight
It's a lost fight
'cause when i talk to you on the phone
Well, it's just like being alone
It's not half right
It's not half right
