SOUR GRAPES
(SOMETIMES LIFE SUCKS... SOMETIMES WE JUST THINK IT DOES)
I still wake up in disbelief
I never took you for a thief
but that is what you did
who'm I trying to kid
you stole everything I didn't nail down
and then you brought your hammer
knocked me out and took the rest
you belong in the slammer
yu promised we'd put ourselves together
but left me just falling apart
you stole everything I ever valued
but first you took my heart
thief
yes, we hate that word
I know it brings you down
but it's a relief
for me to say it
now that I'm the clown
thief
yes, that's what you are
no matter how you explain
all of your hardships
and all your bad trips
don't relieve the pain
just face the truth
like I'm trying to do
maybe you can change
the thief in you
or maybe you just don't want to
you stole everything I didn't have hidden
and I hid nothing from you
refused to believe you were just using me
I still don't want to
I still wake up in disbelief
about how you took me apart
but now I have nothing left
except this broken heart
thief
yes, we hate that word
I know it brings you down
but it's a relief
for me to say it
now that I'm the clown
thief
yes, that's what you are
no matter how you explain
all of your hardships
and all your bad trips
don't relieve the pain
no one is to blame
but just to make it plain
it's time to face the shame
thief is part of your name
thief
yes, we hate that word
I know it brings you down
but it's a relief
for me to say it
now that I'm the clown
thief
yes, that's what you are
no matter how you explain
all of your hardships
and all your bad trips
don't relieve the pain
time to face the shame
thief is now your name
