No Good Deed

Try to do good Smile. Be nice When asked for a favor Don't have to think twice I 'm charitable, generous Believe that kindness is key Trust good karma is cyclical It'll come back to me But disillusion and pain Is all I get in return Lies and backstabbing Somehow tables get turned I'm portrayed as a villain That I am to blame For all your misfortune It's part of your game You play on my sympathies Take advantage of me Then twist and manipulate Rewrite history You are the reason I can't trust a soul Why I hide in the darkness I'm always alone I'm tired with hurting Done being played Lost faith in everyone Always feeling betrayed But you are the farmer You watered this seed No good deed goes unpunished You did this to me
