As Is - Ani DiFranco

you can’t hide

behind social graces

so don’t try

to be all touchy feely

cuz you lie

in my face of all places

but I got no problem with that really

what bugs me is that you believe what you’re saying

what bothers me is that you don’t know how you feel

what scares me is that while you’re telling me stories

you actually

believe that they are real

I get no illusions about you

guess what

I never did

when I said

when I said I’ll take it I meant

I meant as is just give up and admit you’re as asshole

you would be in some good companyand I think you’d find

that your friends would forgive you

or maybe I am just speaking for me when I look around

I think this, this is good enough

and I try to laugh

at whatever life brings

cuz when I look down

I just miss all the good stuff

and when I look up I just trip over things

i’ve got no illusions about you

guess what

I never did

when I say

when I say i’lll take it I mean

I mean as is
