Jim Yoshii Pile-up Double Negative
This,
This is the truth.
I’ve checked all my facts
And I’ve got all the proof I need.
I keep forgetting why I’m here,
I keep feeling I shouldn’t be.
The looks I keep getting,
the talk in my ear keeps reminding me.
It reminds me how our friendship died,
How my presence here is a thorn in your side.
I keep forgetting why I’m here, it’s because
I’m a petty guy
who spends his time
fabricating useless lies.
I wanna know
why you had to say the things you said,
the time you spent inside my head.
I don’t mind.
The truth is somewhere in between,
hurting you and killing me.
You are resigned
with your shoulders shrugged,
a sideways glance,
a nodded head,
a non-response.
It’s so unkind.
The truth is somehow hidden but still hurting you.
It’s a lie.
It’s my lovesong to you.
