It's You

You say that they all
use me, you say they're
not really my friends.

But who are you to
tell me how my road
will end?

I now see it so
clearly that the user
here is you, so who
are you to tell
me what the hell
I'm gonna do.

If you can't see what
you do to me than
you have completely
lost your mind
and I bet you
sit and wonder why
the hell I sit and
cry.

one day I hope you
look at yourself
I mean way down
deep inside and I
hope you figure out
what I'm talking about of
your demons that
truly crave your mind.

So my love I'm not
the devil here
but he is beside me
still. The devil I see is
you in front of me
will you finally have
the will.

This is...

a clear statement of your truth. Fast and easy.
"you say that they all use me, you say [they're] not really my friends."

The little breaks of rhyme make this piece. ~ Geezer.
