I'M Mr. Nice Guy

I helped sharpen the knife that’s in my back

kindness is something I don’t lack

let me roll over and play dead

while you take advantage of me, 

messing with my head

let me help you betray my trust

so I can forgive you once more

here allow me to be the rug you wipe your feet on at the door

no please let me be the one that you abuse

treachery now or later? I’ll let you choose.

Let me be your personal slave

just being nice to you is all I crave

Here, you be Cain and I’ll be Abel

Your friendship is nothing more than fable

Despite it all, I do my best to help

Hoping that there’s a ray of hope in your future

just allow me to remove my sutures

please just use me for what you want

I promise, I’m much too nice to even tease or taunt
