The Corrupt Stay Beautiful

Honey, you know how messed up you are,
I could tell when I looked in your eyes and saw a raging war,
You better get yourself together,
Before the ties gotta be severed.

Life with you used to be fun,
Now, baby, I'm past over and done,
Yet somehow I still seem attached,
Thinking we're this perfect match.

You may be beautiful, yeah, that's true,
But no one, baby, is as corrupt as you.

[Chorus]
After all these years of dealing with you,
And saying over and over again,
That, "Baby, we're through"
I've finally realized,
That the corrupt stay beautiful... and that's you.

After last night, I know what I gotta do,
I've gotta buck up and be a man,
Instead of wasting all this time on you.
Misery is my best friend,
An emotion I always have to attend,
But as long as you're far away and gone
Honey, I'll be laughing all day long.

[Chorus]
After all these years of dealing with you,
And saying over and over again,
That, "Baby, we're through"
I've finally realized,
The corrupt stay beautiful... and that's you.

I know we've been together for such a long time,
And I was always braggin',
That you were mine,
But, baby, I gotta say,
That I'm not gonna spend every minute of my day,
On someone like you,
That doesn't care who
I am or what I like,
I'm telling you baby...
I'm on strike

[Chorus]
After all these years,
All these years of saying over and over again,
That "Baby we're past being through"
I've finally realized,
That I never wanna be with you,
I never want to see your face,
I never want to feel your lifeless embrace,
[I just never...]
The corrupt stay beautiful

And that's you

TITLE PROMPTS- The Corrupt and Stay Beautiful

I mixed and matched I was imagining a beat similar to Dear Maria, Count Me In by All Time Low. But only some parts...

I'm slowly getting back into my song writing thing. Hopefully I'm getting better. People have been liking them so far ! I really want someone to sing it though Then I'll be happy ! xD

    Oh man, I wish I could show this to my friend who seems to be going through the same thing with his 'corrupt' girl. You should really try to get it published and recorded as a song because I think it's something that a lot of people can relate to. The best songs and poems, in my opinion, are those that the audience can listen to or read and feel like they can make a connection with the speaker. This performs that task wonderfully. Well done

    You know I think your the only one who has done these title so far. I liked how you picked two different titles and made this beautifull, something I would have never thought of.
    I could picture someone singing this as I read.
    Thank you for doing something different!
    Good job here.
