Hiding in Plain Sight

They say you're such a great guy

You're one of the best

They cannot understand why

I always protest

Why I avoid your helping hands

Every time they take hold

Because of their demands

Giving more than what was sold

They put you on a throne

While you put on a show

A king in your zone

Knowing they don't know

Your charm is evident

Your tongue a whip of sharp wit

But to my detriment

They can't see how you're split

Because though you shower me with good

And you dote on my shell

They have never stood where I stood

They have never walked through your hell

They say you're such a great guy

You're one of the best

They cannot understand why

I always protest

Because they don't know how it is

What it's like sleeping in your bed

How there's poison within your kiss

How you used my body to mess with my head

They say you're such a great guy

You're one of the best

They cannot understand why

I always protest

Because they cannot see

How your sours are disguised as sweets

How you save it for me

When we're in between the sheets
