I Wish I Was

I wish I was

You told me you cared
You lied
You told me you were my friend
You lied

When I needed a friend
You lied
You told me you would be there for me
You lied

To quote Deee-Lite:
"I believe in the power of love,
I believe in the power of love
Let them call me naive, but I still believe"

But you know what?
Part of me wants revenge
You approached me under false pretenses

You made me believe we shared so much
You made me believe I was understood
You made me welcome you into my heart

And then you did it
You did to me what 'they' had done to us
And you lied

But I could shrug it off
Pretend it didn't matter
Pretend I didn't notice

But if you were right there
Right in front of me
Then I'd do something
Something mean and vengeful

I'd put my left foot forward
I'd put my right foot back
Keeping the knees relaxed of course
I'd put my left fist up as a guard

And then... Then...
I'd let loose a right jab
That would scare the hell out of Tyson

And you?
You'd get a nosebleed that would make
Niagara Falls look like the Sahara
And I would rejoice

No, I wouldn't do that
Here, in the world of make believe
I can do anything I want

But in the real world,
I'm too nice to be so bloody
But damn... I wish I was
