Shake Hands and Make Up
I’m sorry you’re so ugly,
And I’m sorry you’re so fat.
I’m sorry all the best boys
Just don’t like you like that.
I feel bad that you’re lonely,
I’m sorry you’ve no friends,
But what did you expect?
You look the same at both ends.
I really am sorry about what
Happened at the party.
The boys just used the chips and dips
To get a little arty
On a page that needed help,
And it did your face some good,
To be slathered in a little more
Salsa than it should.
I’m sorry you’re so awkward,
And I’m sorry you’re a loser.
And I’m sorry that I started
Witty rumour after rumour.
I’m sorry that we pulled those pranks,
Like when we nicked your bag.
I would say they were all my ideas,
But I would hate to brag.
I’m sorry you’re so stupid,
So ditzy and so blind,
That you’d think by saying this
I’m really being kind.
Because if I’m honest,
I’m heartfelt and I’m true,
I’m not sorry at all,
I’m just glad I’m not you.
