Myopic

Ever been to a county fair Where all the games are scams Now apply what you know To all the things you don't Politics and business Most love many friendships Throw until your tendons tear But those bottles stay weighted Goodwill then, hard stops Slow learner, gets taught My teachers tried, my teachers lost (There were principals involved) Mishandled, and robbed They rubbed my feelings raw But now I've put my glasses on Brings it all into focus Slow to hear, late to notice But now I'm on a constant watch Cynical not bitterness Love my girl and friendships I forgive all of life's hassles From flat tires to thieving bosses Overdrafts to cheating exes But don't make me remember If I don't have to Goodwill then, hard stops Slow learner, gets taught My teachers tried, my teachers lost (There were principles involved) Mishandled, and robbed They rubbed my feelings raw But now I've put my glasses on Apologies Are a wedding night fling Sometimes it's best to exit quietly Apologies Doesn't quite wash it clean "Sorry" is a sad and sorry thing
