Oh, how I don’t feel so swell
because I haven’t been treating my friends well
I have been more focused on trying to figure my calling, my vocation
To realize that my head has been in the wrong location
All because of one silly mistake,
I’ve sentenced them to the stake
And oh now how I feel so sad
For having been treating them this bad
And if I could only turn back time,
Let’s say I wouldn’t be sitting here writing this silly rhyme
Why wasn’t I able to see,
Just what they all meant to me?
I apologize to all of thee,
However, most especially how I have been to she
I am sorry how I’ve behaved so erratically lately,
How I had anger, and how it ate me
I’ve been feeling low recently,
Because I haven’t been treating my friends very decently
I finally see that they have lifted me up high
When I feel like laying around letting out a sigh
They would help me soar by giving me wings,
And in return, I’ve pelted them with rocks and stings
I’ve been wandering around in a daze
Over how I’ve treated my friends these last couple days
I know I have been a fool to act this way,
I just cannot explain myself; I have nothing more to say
The anger and sadness are starting to subside,
After all, I can run, but can’t forever hide
Maybe I can finally shut out the dark, put the future on hold,
Knew from the start treat your friends like gold
But we all know that monster named Pressure,
Moreover, what it can do to a person in good measure
There’s not much reason for it all
To let myself slip through their safety net, and continued to let myself fall
I should never have to explain
How I treated my friends, because there’s really nothing to gain
I let my emotions take me on a lonely safari
I cannot tell you exactly how much I am sorry
I am not quite ready to return to that port,
Afraid that they will just scoff and snort
Nevertheless, I know that soon I will be able to return without alarm,
And once again those good times we’ll farm
Doing our duty to one another, keeping each from harm
