Lyrical

I fear this just isn't right, my lad
for when you are happy, I am sad
I fear this just isn't going to work
because when I am a lady, you are jerk

I am sorry that my rhymes
are lyrical and too passe
I am sorry for my poor grammar
causing you such dismay

I tried to be the best, I really did
but you auctioned my love away
for the lowest bid
now what's left to say?

I guess "I hate you" would sound good
I promise I'd say it, if only I could
but you see, I do not mean those words
because when the spill out of your mouth, they sound absurd

Yes, I'm a fool, and I am in love
when you hurt me, I do cry
you yell at me that you do not care
but the more you say that, the more I try

My mouth is awfully dry
so I write in rhymes
I would whisper goodbye
though, I simply do not have the time

I guess I never loved you anyway
considering I cannot find the right words to say
I wish I could, just to show you up
but I know I won't, it's too easy to give up

It's hard to place illusory
with a cold hard fact
though, you seem to get a kick
out of hurting me like that
