a little whine with that?

whine whine whine
it'd be OK from time to time
but from you It's all I find
though your pain ain't half of mine
I have it all down in writing
that all it ever is, is slighting
it's not about wrong or writing
it's about whine and whine and whine
you do it all the time
you've got it down refined
it's whine whine whine

nothing else I think you think
you always have us on the brink
telling us of your woe
as if we don't already know
it seems everything you present
is really nothing but resent
of one who supposedly did you
oh how could you how could you how could you
you know we have only your word
and we have that till it's absurd
but that doesn't matter
amounts to incessant chatter
cuz it's whine and whine and whine
you do it all the time
you've got it down refined
its whine whine whine

as told, mine's a thousand fold worse than yours
but from me it only bores 
they don't want mine, just yours
because I'm choosing not to dwell
not at any length to tell
yet it's me they've said that does
the reasoning is lost because
if I were dwelling, I would be the one telling 
but it's you who's forever blu
you've told us through and though
it occurs if one could confide
do we have the other side?
no. so it's whine and whine and whine
you do it all the time
you've got it down refined
it's whine whine whine

on one occasion or two
I said I was the one who was blue
I said I was hurting
the subject they kept skirting
they informed me it was something it was not
because the truth they wanted to drop
so I was marginalized 
by the ones so highly prized
who said they were friends 
true blue till the end
but only as long as I was silent
to my emotions they chose to be violent
would those, till the end friends care?
no, they weren't ever there
at least not that you could tell
they only turn out if you're well
but not for those like you
you can disparage till your blu
and go on and whine and whine and whine
you do it all the time
you've got it down refined
it's whine whine whine

but now I've got the timing
but oh am I now the one whining
or just observing something that's true?
because it's me and it ain't you
they'll make it that I am I suppose
but how many times have they froze
and attentively tended your woes?
and reader think how many times
have you seen these sorta rhymes
coming from me or coming from who?
so you should decide 
the truth need not hide
from ones who are really true
so let's all give out a bellowing boo hoo
and whine and whine and whine
you do it all the time
you've got it down refined
it's whine whine whine
