Honesty of a Drunk Person

Give me a new piece of paper for me to rhyme over I speak the honesty of a drunk person, but my mind's sober Life wasn't going to hand it to me, so I had to find closure Had to take a step back to see things clearly, because some things aren't worth going blind over Some risk losing everything while gaining nothing at all I'm tired of being the only real person in this fake world Some guys cheat with a shallow woman and lose a great girl The same idiots will throw away the number of a girl they're dying to call Girls ignore the good guy, for someone who treats them bad They could have a guy who'd do anything to make them happy, but stay with someone who keeps them sad Then when the bad guy breaks their heart, they cry that no good guys exist Sorry, but I'll be long gone and won't be your second choice wish We waste our time and ignore those who adore us We refuse to help the person who'll do anything for us We chase the person who doesn't want to come our way We want sun when it rains, but it's raining now, so we're complaining we don't have sun today We fight over dumb things and make small issues turn big We say things without knowing the impact that words give They kill innocent people, rape women and hurt kids We're forced to live with this suffering but none of us deserve it We cry for those who aren't worth our tears We ignore our dreams and happiness, and focus on hurt and fears Life won't give you it, so you have to find closure I'm speaking with the honesty of a drunk person, but my mind's sober
