Dog Faced Boy

Phish

I can't spare a moment for the dog faced boy
I won't lend another hand to theworm girl of Hanoi
Don't deplete my oxygen for the guy who's turning blue
But ask me, and I'll do anything for you

Whenever I think of you it only makes me feel sad
Whenever I think of you, the best friend I ever had
Before I gave it up all for nothing
Well, I lied and I cheated

And it made me feel bad
It made me feel guilty for not being true
Oh the months I spend trying for a way to explain
In the end all I could do as turn my head in shame
Whenever I think of you it only makes me feel sad
Because you deserve better and once I was it
But somehow my good intentions just got up and git

    General CommentIt's the story of a man coming to terms with his own character flaws. He is realizing that he's a selfish person, and his actions have hurt someone that he was once (or still is) in love with. He is telling this person that he regrets his mistakes and would do anything to make amends, although he still acknowledges his selfishness in regards to the rest of the world.
