Singing about some fake girls
With the rhyming in my words
Calling them beautiful
They don't exist in this world
The day I'm called a poet
Will be known as when I exploded
Cause when I care for you I'll show it
But today I'm far from it
When you shoot me from across the room
With a fully loaded handgun
I questioned my love for you
And what's next to come
Don't blame me for my behavior
It was the way I was born
So you can set me on fire
And use my flame for some warmth
I'm watching news channels now
Cause my family turned them on
But I'd rather be watching cartoons
So I went out and drank coke on the lawn
My family disagrees with me
With all of my chose scenery
I put around myself
Four broken walls and empty shelves
I'm ready to be broken like glass
Because I have a steel exterior
And it was built to last
But everyday it cracks a little bit easier
Don't blame me for my behavior
It was the way I was born
So you can set me on fire
And use my flame for some warmth
You can tell when I'm being honest
Cause that's when my voice is strongest
So I will be brave from here on out
And sing as loud as I can with my mouth
Don't blame me for my behavior
It was the way I was born
So you can set me on fire
And use my flame for some warmth
