Analysis of The Bully
Try to give you a chance then you break my heart,
Try to say no and we are right back to the start.
I dont want to fight you now,
but you always leave me with nothing but a frown.
How can I stay away,
when you chase me each day.
You pushed me away,
then tell me i am okay.
I wish you would listen and learn,
but all you want to do is watch me burn!
Your the bully and you always fight,
but to me that is just not right.
