Other nights I hate you Just for being you who are The way you share yourself with others It's disgusting And how when you walk into a room It lights up and people like you Your smile is contagious It's annoying The way you seem to take over And make everything better Perfect, brilliant It's irritating And when you leave people still talk And I listen with an unabiding ear Because it's soothing That's other nights Tonight I wish I were those other people Being lit up and charmed It's bittersweet
