I was unwavering. I'm handcuffed to who I'm supposed to be.
I'm the guy you don't take a chance on.
I'm the guy who has all the best intentions and none of the graceful follow through.
I'm the guy your dad hates and your mom still fantasizes about during their stale moments of passion.

Fall in love? That is going to be the most corrupt thing I have ever done.
Convince someone to love me, every rotten part.
