Does Lies

I had a friend who was full of snideness 
said I nicked his bike but I was in Cyprus 
told people for years with total slyness 
bitterness is always a trait with surprises

What’s more is he made up this story, 
tells it causing an air which deplores me,
also tells all I make up stories 
and they treat me bad or ignore me, 

savage stains on my reputation 
and no one knows I was out of the nation, 
I did nothing on this occasion 
still they don’t get my frustration 

If I confront why should I feel bad
he did something he shouldn’t have 
that’s the reason I now shout out mad 
because he did something he shouldn’t have

Dom says I stole his bike but he’s talking grit  
I wonder what else he says like a git,
I could have found him give him a hit 
but I’d rather tell you I didn’t do it

Don't worry, Nick, I believe you (even though Dom said not to)
