Unwelcomed Houseguest

I stayed at your house, I thought would be fine I thought I'd be welcomed caused you stayed at mine I cleaned your house, moped your floors to You made me feel like mud on the bottom of your shoe At my house you were lazy thought you were a queen but I didn't complain, didn't want to be mean At my house you were welcomed to do as you pleased even gave you a key made you feel at ease At your house I was snubbed, made to feel like a fool God forbid I'd talk too loud, or break some other rule You were a stranger to me yet, I took you in, I thought we were closer, even considered you a friend But you turned on me, forgot the things I'd done considered you part of the family for the sake of my son But turns out you were only a disappointment at best thought you were kinda special, sorry, but you failed the test I guess it brought you pleasure to treat me like you did you had no respect for me, you acted like a kid It's kinda sad things turned out this way, it didn't have to be All it took was a softer heart, but you wasted time hating me I hope to never be your houseguest again, and I hope you're never mine because never laying eyes on you again, would suit me just fine.
