i want to say that you're a really good person,
but we both know that's a lie.
i can't sugarcoat garbage.
i can't sugarcoat the vile things you've said
but it's too late.
there was no going back,
you knew that immediately

i want to say that you're one of the worst around,
and we both know that's the truth.
you can't turn back time no matter how much you want to.
you've left the world speechless,
the second you opened your mouth.
you couldn't sugarcoat yourself.

now your words will float in existence
because you can't take it back,
you couldn't bite your tongue.

you couldn't let it go.
