"No, really, I am trying to make this work"

now i sort of hate to say this but you look like a slut
but why are you sad? did that hurt too much?
i don't want to hurt you but i hate to lie
i don't want to leave anyone questioning what i've said once i die
so forget all the that i said that started with "i try"
when all's said and done it was probably a lie

but the night sky is so bright
and the stars are shining down
kind of makes me forget what's going on around me
if you want me to, i can tell you a truth
or i can make myself useful and help you out

[you're all that's standing between my happiness
and a total lack of expectations for myself]
