Analysis of Karma's list



   1. In every decision I make,

And every step I take,

I see it through your eyes,

Which makes me realize that

I am a better person than you, and that's a fact.

'Cause you would have twisted the story,

Taken offense, and started a fight.

2. You see the worst in people,

Point out all my flaws in public

Bring your lies to the dinning table

While I still find myself struggling to find good in your soul,

You keep breaking my heart into folds.

3. I am not being proud,

I just want to say out loud,

That karma is a bitch,

And babe, she has you on her list.

4. I am sad now,

And you are glad.

You think you know better, but you don't.

Honey, you are the 'worst' you see in me.

5. I thought I had a bad sense of judgement,

Crossing paths with you,

Realizing yours is just irrational.

6. I was wrong to assume you were good,

When you helped me at school.

Still, I know you aren't all bad,

Like the world, you are more than black and white.
