The Ugly Side of Me

I don't know what it is about me

That you like so much, I don't see

What's so special about my heart

I couldn't tell from the start

Why you chose to be with me

When with someone better you could be. 

I warn you now, I'm not beautiful

I'm selfish, I'm lonely, not wonderful

I'm needy, I'm petty, I'm a liar

Of my chase-me games you will tire

I get jealous so easy over you

I don't think before I do. 

But I also know that I can be

Everything you need me to be

I can be your shoulder to cry

I can see through your lie

I know when you need to cry

So I'll be there, for you I would die. 

I'll fight dirty to get to you

I'll trip up others, the things I'll do

To keep you mine, you don't want to know 

What I'd do, my cruel side I'll show

I'll tell lies, and I'll cheat, I'll steal

I'll even take advantage of how you feel. 

I'm not a good person, I told you

So I don't know what you'll do 

When you see the ugly side of me

I don't know if my love for you, you'll see

After this darkness that stains my heart

Is revealed after I kept it hidden from the start.
