Dear old friend, it’s time I set you straight
You’ve been a growing concern for a number of years
Tackling your problems head on was never your strong point.
Your morals were something I never questioned
I blamed it on a lack of better judgement
You were never the brightest spark, but that glimmer you had is gone
How could you let carnal desire cloud something so pure?
She demonstrated human nature at its kindest
A beautiful trait you don’t often see,
But you soiled it when you became a slave
To your urges, to the bottle
And other such trivial matters
Tell me where’s the girl we used to know?
But I guess in some way or another, hypocrisy has always been your thing
And in retrospect his oppression kept you stable
I’ve never seen a rebound like this
How could you let carnal desire get in the way?
When you return you’ll have no one
I always thought you’d add up to more than this
Now it’s catching you up like I said it would
Dear old friend, it’s time I set you straight
You’ve been a growing concern
