This is actually a song, so I wasn't going to put it up here, but oh well. I was in my car, picking up my sister, I believe, and I kind of wrote it in my head then. I came home, changed up the words a little, recorded the vocals, and I haven't touched it since. But I like it. It's scathing, haha.

#176. "It's Okay" (11.20.2005)
Right away --
We'd known each other for years,
And then the years went by, for real;
Slowly, I --
Peeled back the layers of your self-deceptions,
And I saw the ways you tried to fool me,
The ways you tried to fool yourself.

And now I know the reason why
You stood by my side,
You wanted everything I had to give,
Well, you've got everything I have to give,
So leave me alone (leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone...)

And yesterday --
You tried to tell me how well you're doing,
Well, I must say, I'm not impressed.
After all --
I was there all the times you gave up on something good.
After all the chances life gave to you,
I know you're gonna screw this up too.

So now you tell me you're gonna be,
Better to them than you were to me;
Well, you can tell yourself that it's okay,
Because I tell myself that it's okay,
All the time (all the time, all the time, all the time...)

Well, you can tell yourself that it's okay,
Yeah, you can tell yourself that it's okay,
Because I tell myself that it's okay,
All the time.
