Sometimes I Just Want to Know What it's Like to be You

 

I’ve always wondered

What it would be like to be you.

Wondered what it would feel like

To do the things you do.

 

You play games

With people’s minds.

You play these games

With no remorse of any kind.

 

You break hearts,

Destroy lives too.

Oh, what I’d give

To, just for one day, be like you.

 

I’d take your soul

And tear it apart.

And all that will remain

Are shattered pieces of your heart.

 

You will feel

As if you’re about to die.

Oh, you will beg for the end

And that is no lie.

 

Sometimes I wish I knew

Just how to be so oblivious.

I wish I knew

How you could keep doing this.

 

You have stolen my heart

And broken it in two.

I often wonder

What it would be like to be you,

 

To be so unconscious

As to how people feel.

Can you not see

That the pain you cause is real?

 

If I were you,

Just for one day,

I think I would know

Just what to say:

 

I’d say the things

You said to me

I’d promise to be yours

For all eternity.

 

And when you start

To fall for those lies.

I’ll laugh at every tear

That falls from your eyes.

 

I will walk out on you

When you need me the most.

Then I’ll disappear from your life.

Disappear like a ghost.

 

But then I’ll haunt you

From the side lines.

I’ll destroy your life,

The way you destroyed mine.
