My Right Hand Man

I expect to get mistreated if I try, But I already know it will only be for a short time, All this time with me you waged war, Neverending...back and forth, If I didn't agree with you, or play along, Your hurtful words, and comebacks strong, In a drunken stupor the truth comes out, All of your fears, all of your doubts, If you don't want the truth, please don't ask, Because sober you hide behind the mask, I shake my head in silence when I hear your lies, It breaks my heart everytime, Because you live and breathe for a glorified image, What's it going to take for you to stop this, I'm your muse and the butt of your jokes, But one day you'll look back and realize I loved you the most, And I'll take your ridicule like a champ, And at the end of your act I'll still be your friend, Your not winning when you make me cry, Because I'm still living for the love inside, I don't need an image to stand, The love I have is my right hand man.
