deadbeat

Deadbeat

I don’t expect the best
But you’re disappointing me
It’s nothing I couldn’t see
Coming for miles

When I saw you last
There was no surprise
Dressed in all your lies
You wear it with a smile

But you keep letting me down
Like you broke into my house
And you ransacked all my things

You’re all I think about
With no one else around
Like a reoccurring dream

Number one deadbeat
Thought you’d change with age
Thought you were turning the page
Old habits die hard

Plans all fall to pieces
And it’s nothing new
It’s what I expect from you
Rain check for the weather
Excuses should be better

But you keep letting me down
Like you broke into my house
And you ransacked all my things

You’re all I think about
With no one else around
Like a reoccurring dream

But you keep letting me down
Like a tear that’s in the couch
And it’s spreading to the seams

Heavy is the crown
That you wear so proud
Wish you were proud of me

Say what you say
Can’t you mean what you say
Will you spell it out for me

You can’t runaway
Let me say to your face
That you mean so much to me
