“Change of Heart”


You owe me.
You made fun of my pathetic life.
And then you want me out of your life?
You expect things to be handed out.
Quit expecting things and help me out.
You did the damage.
You laughed right in my face.
You pay the damage.
You owe me, you must face.
You owe me.

But if you had a change of heart...
You could go out with me.
You could get use to me.
I am not a bad guy after all.
My love for you stands so very tall.
Being ugly doesn’t matter.
What is inside is what matters.
If we ever went steady, I’d always be true.
Never having someone before, you know it’s true.
You would be my first and only.
I will never leave you lonely.
I will be true from the start.
if you had a change of heart.

But nothing ever happens good to me.
She will never care to even help me.
Six years of suffering, she needs to see.
But she’ll never care to come and help me.
She owes me.
But she’ll never pay.
