You Add An Un To Grateful

 

Apple pie a la road

A slice of road apple pie

Just what are you trying to give me here?

Just what...

And might I ask, “Why?”

 

In this relationship

You have had chances

But when I try to reconcile

Do the checks and balances

I poked you on Facebook

You poked me in the eye

I gave your page a second look

Because, though you are in a relationship

Your profile pic’s with another guy

 

What have I done to deserve this?

Just what is it that I have missed?

You should find yourself in raptures with us

Instead, I find you are pissed

I add another level to my fall

You add an un to grateful

History has shown

I will fall down them all

You add an un to grateful

 

I have paved your streets with gold

I have made you a bed of flowers

And when you ask for at least a minute

I have been there to give you hours

 

But when it comes

To giving back

You feel the love

I feel the knife

First the stab then the twist

I feel the knife in my back

Not what I wanted

Not on my top-ten list

And you could not just stop

With just the stab

No, you had to insist

On adding the twist

 

What have I done to deserve this?

Just what is it that I have missed?

You should find yourself in raptures with us

Instead, I find you are pissed

I add another level to my fall

You add an un to grateful

History has shown

I will fall down them all

You add an un to grateful

 

I bring Egyptian cotton

You insist on itchy wool

I buy you a cup of soup

But, even though

You cannot finish it

You say

I should have gotten a bowl

I scratch your itch

You turn and scratch me

It has taken way too long

For me to wake up and see

Though the billboard has been there

Right there in front of me

It has taken far too long

To say goodbye

The burning question

The answer for which I long is

Why?

 

Because…

What have I done to deserve this?

Just what is it that I have missed?

You should find yourself in raptures with us

Instead, I find you are pissed

I add another level to my fall

You add an un to grateful

History has shown

I will fall down them all

You add an un to grateful
