I know it's bitter but sometimes, just have to be.

You

You could be so great
If you weren't such a liar
And your head wasn't
So big you can't fit a hat to wear

Oh you could be so great
If your six pack actually existed
And your soft skin wasn't so pale
And your hands were manlier

You could be so great
If all the wonder you inspire
Wasn't tainted by your insecurities
And the need to feed your ego

You could be oh so great
If daggers didn't fly out
Every time you spoke
Or wrote to anyone

You could be so great
If you just weren't you.
