Setting you straight


Living lies,breathing lies,

Don't care if someone lives or dies.

Throwing up the duces,hoping them the worst,

Just waiting for one another to die first.

I'm not tripping,I'm just telling the truth,

Burning the photos from the photo booth.

Because the love we had was nothing but a joke,

Being a straight looney tune saying "THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!!"

Dang, I thought we were going to last long,

But you soon expired and now I'm moving on.

My heart isn't cold,Don't have a reason 2 be,

Because this is basically my new beginning.

So I don't have 2 cry,I don't need these lies,

Because I found another guy who treats me right,

U shouldn't get mad because it was your mistake,

So for you I know it's hard to take,

So fuck off,jump off,rise up,get up,

Because today's a new day and it's time to wake up.
