I Thought You Had My Back

I thought you had my back Instead, you threw a rock At me, for no conceivable reasons. Now, I understand there are lessons To be learnt every second of the day Before the sick butterflies fly away. You can no longer look at me in the eyes Move on, I don't care about your apple pies Leave me alone, I am following the birds. You would kill for pecks, decks and nerds Life is full of chances, surprises and lucks And the lakes full of snakes, frogs and ducks. You repeatedly stabbed me in the back You seized, confiscated, lied and ransacked There is a lit candle at the end of the tunnel. With your behavior, you'll drown in the funnel Liars never get rewarded for gossips and nonsense Winners have courage, guts, gusto, and patience.
