you can't hide   behind social graces   so don't try   to be all touchy feely   cuz you lie   in my face of all places   but i've got no   problem with that really      what bugs me   is that you believe what you're saying   what bothers me   is that you don't know how you feel   what scares me   is that while you're telling me stories   you actually   believe that they are real      and i've got   no illusions about you   and guess what?   i never did   and when i said   when i said i'll take it   i meant,   i meant as is      just give up   and admit you're an asshole   you would be   in some good company   i think you'd find   that you friends would forgive you   or maybe i   am just speaking for me      cuz when i look around   i think this, this is good enough   and i try to laugh   at whatever life brings   cuz when i look down   i just miss all the good stuff   when i look up   i just trip over things      and i've got   no illusions about you...      you can't hide   behind social graces   cuz i don't buy it   like everyone else   and you can lie   in my face of all places   just don't   lie to yourself      cuz i've got   no illusions about you   and guess what?   i never did   and when i say   when i say i'll take it   i mean,   i mean as is...      ...as is...
