I'm Sorry I Can't


I'm sorry I can't hold it together,

                               something doesn't feel right

 

I'm sorry I can't please you,

                                I never wanted this life

 

I'm sorry I can't be perfect,

                               you're asking too much.

 

I'm sorry I can't see what you see,

                                I'm much more simple-minded than you

 

I'm sorry I can't uphold your reputation,

                                I'm a slut, a skank, a hoe.

 

I'm sorry I can't keep my eyes dry,

                                my body just feels so weak.

 

I'm sorry I can't keep living,

                                you won't miss my presence anyway.
