It Would Have Made You Stay
I’m a liar
and you made me honest
I’m lazy
and you made me work
I’m a lot of bad things
but none of them when I was with you
I’ve never been a good person
not really
but with you
I was
I was honest
and true
I did everything
and more
But I regret it
and not because your gone
or because I missed it
because if I didn’t you’ still be here
If I cheated
and I ignored
and I belittled
You’d still be mine
You made me into a wonderful man
You made me into a happy man
But you made me love you
And you couldn’t love me back
If I had burned you
you’d cherish the wound
But instead I put a bandage on your arm
and you threw it away
I wish I was able to treat you bad
I wish I could have made you cry
and not because I hate you
because It would have made you stay
and you made me honest
I’m lazy
and you made me work
I’m a lot of bad things
but none of them when I was with you
I’ve never been a good person
not really
but with you
I was
I was honest
and true
I did everything
and more
But I regret it
and not because your gone
or because I missed it
because if I didn’t you’ still be here
If I cheated
and I ignored
and I belittled
You’d still be mine
You made me into a wonderful man
You made me into a happy man
But you made me love you
And you couldn’t love me back
If I had burned you
you’d cherish the wound
But instead I put a bandage on your arm
and you threw it away
I wish I was able to treat you bad
I wish I could have made you cry
and not because I hate you
because It would have made you stay
