When You Tell Your Story

When you tell your story
Cast me as the villain
Say whatever you must
To help you sleep at night
Share all the heinous deeds
That I ever did to you
Like try to be your friend
Encourage you to grow and live
Show you that someone cares
How dare I do such evil things
As push you to rely on those close to you
Follow your dreams
And reach for what you want
All I ever did
Was try to show you love
If it takes me bring the bad guy
For you to feel better
Then go ahead and label me as such
Seems a shame to me
To waste a true supporter that way
But I’m not the one telling the tale
It’s yours to shape your way
So tell it how you must
And I won’t contradict you
It no longer concerns me
How you view my actions
Our paths will likely never cross again
And we both know the truth
No matter how you spin it
