Verse 1
This may be rude to ask
But were you sedated?
How could you miss the
Affection I predicated
This feels personal
And premeditated
At first a novelty
Life's gift to me belated
Pre-Chorus
You put the dumb in wisdom
Yet maintain intellect
A starlet in a slum
Command, but give no respect
Let me see the
Rules of your game
Mine is several pages
Yours is one
Blank and plain
Chorus
Even now in my own sick, special way
I love you more and more, with each passing day
I could have been a poet
I could have been free
From written accounts of
The shit that you did to me
Verse 2
Poetry comes naturally
I'm naturally a poet
Don't you see?
We'd be good together
I'll admit it's true
You always show in fair weather
The sun's out, the sky is blue
Pre-Chorus
You put the evil in devil
Lord knows where you got the d
Trying to haul away all the
Disgust that you've left with me
I'm unable to detect
Any sign of intellect
Go back to your God
He released you
With a defect
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
She's a really nice girl
The epitome of good
If you're the type who
Thinks Satan was just misunderstood
She'll stop at nothing to
Make sure you never win and
When you catch her bluffing
She'll shed her skin again
Pre-Chorus
She puts the ten in Satan
But don't think she'll never leave
You for some worthless cretin
Which I still cannot believe
I'm unable to respect
The closer I get to inspect
Go back to your God
Who's left to blame for your defect?
Repeat Chorus
Outro
I could have been a poet
Don't you fucking know it?
I could have been a poet
