The Grifters

To’ve writ the words, I promise you
s
Then as a slur, I promise you
s
To hold the gift of thoughtfulness
s
To excuse the act of crushing it
s

As you know I’ve been called a liar
s
And so I know what I, a lying person, does
s

To whisper self-servingly o’ thy tears
s
Then to demoralize the one who took a chance on you
s
To invite my heart to be sewn
s
Then to boo
s
At it as a gag
s

As you know I’ve been called a liar
s
And so I know what a lying person does
s
But I’m also a friend, unlike you
s
And know what a friend will do too
s

Too much has deflowered as more than enough
s
To seize off of me
s
The slip of self love
s

As you know I’ve been called a liar
s
And so I know what a lying person does
s
But I’m also a friend, unlike you
s
And know what a friend will do too
s
