Because I Can't Be Better

by Curing the Comon Cliche   Apr 6, 2009


I put on a smile
Paint it on as big as I can
Don't you dare tell me not to fake it
Because when I don't I get this response
Don't tell me to just be myself
Because myself is not worth shit
Gotta be better, gotta be cuter
Damnit I said be better!
But I can't
And I'm sorry
But I can't
And I'm useless
Like ketchup at the bottom of the bottle
Throw me away
With all your bad memories
I'll be that for you
Because I put on a smile
Because I can't be better.
