Advice

You told me you had high hopes for me But I'm just a regular guy You act as if it's entirely my fault That I like to cheat, steal, and lie I told you, I was simply drinking the alcohol To drown away my pain You told me I should try new things So I tried heroine and cocaine You told me to try and get a fresh new start So I took the initiative and moved It wasn't my fault my roommate was mean to me If you met him, you'd have shot him too You told me that everything would be ok And then I was sent to jail I had one phone call to try and get out But you told me you wouldn't pay my bail You went off to have a family And told me never to talk to you again I lost my mind, body, and soul But never stopped calling you friend I finally got out and looked for you And found you much farther away than you said You told me never to call and to never come near So I used my binoculars instead You seemed very distant from me So I came to your home address I came to your home and rang the bell All of a sudden I was under arrest Back to jail I went yet again And dialed your number with my one call You told me you were no longer my friend And I deserved to suffer the pain of my fall You told me that I'd be better off dead So I took your word, fair and square Now that the noose is tied around my neck Would you mind kicking away the chair?
