Macbeth
I read Macbeth at seventeen in AP Lit
Concerned with simile
And what was on the quiz
I knew Macbeth as the worst man that ever lived
Now when I picture him, I see a frightened kid
The more I think of what you've done to me
It feels like self-fulfilling prophecy
Okay, I'll be the villain you've decided that I am
The giving, then the taking, was it all part of your plan
You were so afraid I'd leave you
That I couldn't stick around the Birnam Wood
Misunderstood, but here's the good
Macbeth don't miss you like she thought she would
Don't get me wrong, at first my heart was out my chest
I walked around with open wounds I couldn't dress
But it got easier when I learned selflessness
Is not the same as making yourself less
Okay, I'll be the villain you've decided that I am
The giving, then the taking, was it all part of your plan
You were so afraid I'd leave you
That I couldn't stick around the Birnam Wood
Misunderstood, but here's the good
Macbeth don't miss you like she thought she would
So here I stand, an open vein
Behold me now, the monster that you made
If I'm different now, you're why I changed
You broke my heart again, again, again
Self-fulfilling prophecy
If you're the victim what does that make me?
Okay, I'll be the villain you've decided that I am
You swear I never loved you, but I don't know how you can
You were so afraid I'd leave you
That I couldn't stick around the Birnam Wood,
Misunderstood, but here's the good
Macbeth don't miss you like she thought she would
Concerned with simile
And what was on the quiz
I knew Macbeth as the worst man that ever lived
Now when I picture him, I see a frightened kid
The more I think of what you've done to me
It feels like self-fulfilling prophecy
Okay, I'll be the villain you've decided that I am
The giving, then the taking, was it all part of your plan
You were so afraid I'd leave you
That I couldn't stick around the Birnam Wood
Misunderstood, but here's the good
Macbeth don't miss you like she thought she would
Don't get me wrong, at first my heart was out my chest
I walked around with open wounds I couldn't dress
But it got easier when I learned selflessness
Is not the same as making yourself less
Okay, I'll be the villain you've decided that I am
The giving, then the taking, was it all part of your plan
You were so afraid I'd leave you
That I couldn't stick around the Birnam Wood
Misunderstood, but here's the good
Macbeth don't miss you like she thought she would
So here I stand, an open vein
Behold me now, the monster that you made
If I'm different now, you're why I changed
You broke my heart again, again, again
Self-fulfilling prophecy
If you're the victim what does that make me?
Okay, I'll be the villain you've decided that I am
You swear I never loved you, but I don't know how you can
You were so afraid I'd leave you
That I couldn't stick around the Birnam Wood,
Misunderstood, but here's the good
Macbeth don't miss you like she thought she would
