My Two Sided Story

You all say I'm the devil,
But he says I'm a saint,
You all say that he loves me,
For something that i ain't

You all say I'm a nuisance,
Even lower than a weed,
But he says that I'm everything,
That he will ever need

He says that I am beautiful,
Even better than Cinderella,
But you say "Get your eyes checked mate,"
"Feel sorry for you fella"

He says that I am kind,
Even to the paparazzi,
But you all say that I am mean,
Three times worser than the Nazi

He promised me his everything, 
His life, his heart, his all,
But what have you guys done for me?
You've tripped and made me fall

But I think that i should thank you,
Because in the end,
You've taught me how to be myself
And not to just pretend
