Ballad of the Bastard
I crushed your heart in my bloody fists
When I did the honest thing and told you of my trysts
Well you demanded truth, that's exactly what you got
You should've killed me there right where I stood
When I casually confessed that I'd been up to no good
You should've just stepped back and taken your best shot
But I assured you then that I could change my ways
And I think that might've lasted for a couple of days
And once again the self-styled lady killer's caught
The sensible solution is to walk away
But I'll cunningly convince you that you've got to stay
I'll poison your resolve and twist your every thought
I don't love you, who knows if I ever did?
Who the fuck did I think I was trying to kid?
You're just the latest sucker that I've sought
Everyone is scared of being on their own
I thought I was the master but my cover's blown
Consider me a lesson deftly taught
When I did the honest thing and told you of my trysts
Well you demanded truth, that's exactly what you got
You should've killed me there right where I stood
When I casually confessed that I'd been up to no good
You should've just stepped back and taken your best shot
But I assured you then that I could change my ways
And I think that might've lasted for a couple of days
And once again the self-styled lady killer's caught
The sensible solution is to walk away
But I'll cunningly convince you that you've got to stay
I'll poison your resolve and twist your every thought
I don't love you, who knows if I ever did?
Who the fuck did I think I was trying to kid?
You're just the latest sucker that I've sought
Everyone is scared of being on their own
I thought I was the master but my cover's blown
Consider me a lesson deftly taught
