I Don't Know Where to Start


I don't know where to start.

You’re the downside to up.

You can make a happy man frown.

You’re the bad side of good.

 

Where sin and worry are present, you are there.

I loved you,

But did you care?

 

You lie beg and cheat,

But do you even look back?

All those times we had,

What were they to you?

 

You gave a new victim,

some new pray.

will he notice what he’s getting into?

 

Was it the pleasure?

Was it the thrill?

 

I don't know, and don't care anymore.

 

I don't know where to start.

You’re the downside to up.

You can make a happy man frown.

You’re the bad side of good. 

 

But now I've got a new.

She's faithful and friendly,

Much, much better then you.

 

She makes me laugh,

She makes me smile.

She makes me sing,

For her I would run for miles

 

She's gracious, good and giddy.

She's always there for me.

 

Since I've met her, I haven’t even thought of you.

 

Now I do know where to start.

You may be the downside of up.

You may make a happy man frown.

But not this man. 

Not this very happy man.
