So I screwed up
Tell me something I don't know

Perhaps something I'm not yet immune to

You expect more
I disappointed you

Well I've heard all this before

Why don't you catch me off guard?
Try something new
Tell me things I haven't heard

Maybe "good job" or "you'll do better next time"

Unless you really want to throw me off

Then "I love you" is your best bet

Is that a waste of breath?

Would you be lying if your words praised me?

Are insults the only truth you speak?

Don't bother answering, I'm sure it's a lie

Or a collection of redundant ways to tell me

I've failed

This much I know

I'm a failure, it's true

Is that why you can't love me?

It doesn't matter

I still love you
