I should have known better than to befriend.
Your trickery is now failing, my dear.
Now, I promise, I try not to offend.
My heart is not, never was, yours to bend
In my nightmares, not dreams, you now appear
I should have known better than to befriend
I know one day you’ll come to your grim end
Lovely face, ruined by your constant sneer…
Now I promise, I try not to offend
Mistakenly trusting until the end,
And look at my price, all of these tears
I should have known better than to befriend
Your character, I’ll never recommend
Your ignorance not lessened by the years
Now I promise, I’ve tried not to offend
Why so trying for you to comprehend?
A bitter enemy, I’m one to fear.
I should have known better than to befriend
And I promise, I lied ‘not to offend.’
