benefit

benefit of the doubt

i wish i could love you
i used to put nobody above you
the stars in the sky
were under your feet

but every one must grow up
and drink a bitter cup
of cruel
reality

why does it have to be the ones
we love the most
that lead us astray

no matter how much they shout
i always give you the
benefit of the doubt

and then they scream
it ain't what it seems, boy,
ain't what it seems
