What do you think?
Ignoring me like this?
You can try all you want,
But I'll never go away.
I've got a grip on you,
I understand you like no other,
And aren't I your only company?
Run if you want, cry if you want,
Scream loud if you want...
I'll be there when nobody else is.
You hate the way I make you feel
But I know your masochism.
Oh you hate my inconsistency?
Well I'm constantly around.
I can make you feel like you're alone,
Or never will be alone.
I change your whole outlook on things,
You wouldn't be you if it weren't for me.
I made you into what you are,
You hate that?
You really shouldn't hate yourself.
Forgot that's my whole thing,
Where'd my sales pitch go?
I'll be here as long as you are.
Escape? To the grave?
I hope you do.
