I hear your disdainful words

And your disapproving tone

When I've barely even said

A word about it yet

-

You say that I'm so hateful

And you say that I am selfish

You say I am heartless

And then with that there's this.

-

How could you delude yourself

Into thinking that it's fine

I knew it years ago

But it seems that you're behind

-

Hide behind your lying smiles

And your "oh so proud of you"s

I know you'll love me forever

If I live the way you want me to

-

Would that I could, wish that I would

You see it and I know you do

But you just refuse to believe

What's right in front of you

-

I'm not quite sure where this went bad

From where we don't always get along

To I can't wait until the day

I'll never see your face again

-

Everything you ever wanted me to be, I am

Did my damnedest to be

Everything you wanted me to do, I did

Did my damnedest to do

-

But you reproach this one small thing

That won't fit the rules of your game?

All because you can't have everything.

For shame

-

And it's such a funny thing though

I saw this one coming

Sometimes I even think

That maybe it's a pity
