because i say so

did i ever tell you
how much i appreciate the lies you told
the going behind my back
all your underhanded tactics
and backhanded insults
trying and trying to save me
from myself and the world
trying so hard
to keep me from knowing
how much you really cared
did i ever tell you
thank you
thank you for calling me
so many times and so many names
thank you for calling me
on my bullshit
