I could be like you,
Sit on the porch,
Smoke a cigarette,
Think that he doesn't know.
I could be like you,
Yell at him, silence,
As he stares at you,
While you stew.
While you stew.
I'm not like you, thank God I'm not like you.
And I don't mean to hurt you,
And I don't need revenge,
For all that you've done,
All that you've said,
Promises you never kept.
I could be like you,
Sink to your level,
And play all your games
Fifty points, if you can make him scream,
Make him scream.
I'll never be like you,
Choose her over
Your own flesh and blood.
Who am I?
Who is she?
And who are you to decide?
I'll never be like you,
Not in a million years.
Waste a lifetime,
Drowned in beer and still not be you.
And they don't hurt like you do echo.
