Based on events that happened to me yesterday
A thousand reasons to smile, I only need one to cry
I look at what I'm becoming and my tears refuse to dry
I guess my selfishness and greed has gotten to a new high
There's no washing off this guilt no matter how much I try
Mother always believes I will grow wings and fly
Gravity works for the opposite as my ego multiply
I'm everyone's best friend until I make the first mistake to lie
And then I become consumed with myself until I die
In case you're wondering, these are just lines
If you don't want a swollen jaw, don't ask for punchlines
But to be honest, these thoughts are all mine
All it took was some reprimand and I've lost my shine
