i'm from a broken heart
and a broken home
i'm a starry-eyed sellout
with dreams bigger than this world
i've got plans to get out of here
i've got plans to make this life into something
and i'm as hypocritical and contradicting as they get
you'd love me if you met me
i'll keep your secrets
and i'll make you want to tell them
i'll make you laugh
you won't forget the things i say
sarcasm drips from my lips constantly
but it's the straight face that gets you every time
i'm manipulative and vindictive
and i'm passionate about what i do
i lie a lot, and i dream a lot
and i write it all down
my pen hardly does justice for what's inside
[but it's the thought that counts]
