I will try to be good
And be right
When i say that i am
I will listen
And look like i care
And that i understand
I'll be friendly
And fair and discreet
And look the other way
I'll be helpful
And often polite
Almost everyday
Honestly
These are things that I tell myself
And almost believe
Split-second decisions
To comfort and deceive
These are my traps and fake outs
These are my prisoners
These are things that I tell myself
Honestly
I will do all these things
Cause I truly believe
That it's right
Then I'll fail
And I'll fail
And I'll fail
And then I'll fight
With myself
And the way I imagine
That things should be
Then I'll try again
Honestly
