I’m Sorry, My Bad

I realized something about you today 

It occurred to me I’d never heard you say 

I’m sorry, my bad 

I guess all you know how to do is complain 

 

No wonder I would never say I love you 

You and I are two very different people 

I’m sorry, my bad 

I guess I’ll never hear you speak these words 

 

I think that something is missing 

I can’t see the picture 

How did you grow up to be 

Somebody this dismissive 

 

I’m not trying to fix you 

I just cannot pinpoint 

How did you grow up to be 

This insensitive 

 

I’ve never heard you apologize 

I never will, will I 

 

It’s everybody else who’s in your way 

I’ve heard “excuse me” but only as a sarcastic phrase 

I’m sorry, my bad 

You could never be wrong, give everyone else the blame 

 

No wonder you and I can’t get along 

I’m perpetually sorry for the grief you cause 

I’m sorry, my bad 

I refuse to settle with your bullshit and clean it up 

 

I think that something is missing 

I can’t see the picture 

How did you grow up to be 

Somebody this dismissive 

 

I’m not trying to fix you 

I just cannot pinpoint 

How did you grow up to be 

This insensitive 

 

Will you ever apologize 

I can’t say I think so 

 

How can you exist 

Just like this 

Always getting away with it 

With everything, always 

 

It isn’t your logic 

It’s heartless 

You’ve been spoiled rotten 

But you should act your age 

 

I think that something is missing 

I can’t see the picture 

Is this the way that every 

Man treats his little sister 

 

Even dad gave up on you 

And you made mom disappointed 

You’re no less of a sexist 

But you’re a complete mess with 

This attitude that’s repulsive 

 

And I can’t adjust to 

Man, what’s wrong with you 

Who the hell raised you to be 

So insensitive 

 

That you never apologize 

Man, at least stop picking fights 

 

Since you’ll never say that 

You’re sorry when it’s your bad
