Explain Yourself

I didn't ask you to explain yourself to me

The fact you feel you have to is enough evidence

To see right through all the bullshit

And the stories you create

I didn't ask to be a game for you to play with

Didn't ask for anything in return that wouldn't

Be asked by anyone else

Respect is something I demand

Worked hard enough to understand

People say what you want to hear

If something comes out of it for them

Even some of the people you're calling your friends

Are waiting for the second they don't have to pretend

What I expect from you is straight forward no frills

No lies unless they kill

I don't want to die from a truth that you never told

A book that you never closed

Read the rest and come back

When you've learned what you're supposed to

I expect the world, cause I give it in return

And if you know me well enough you know I burn bridges

With flaky muthafuckers and stool pigeons

They have their own agenda

And the people that they burn

Will eventually see everything crystal

Then fire like an automatic pistol

They didn't ask you to choose the way you did

All your wrong words, wrong looks

Judgments passed, closed books, bad reactions

No apologetic actions took, by either stuborn side

So you return to your lonely life

Didn't ask to be the one

The one to make you see

You chose me

I didn't ask you to
