Wishes are More Reliable than Maybes
There are nights like tonight
When the world is ending again,
But this time it's not your fault.
And you wish that the fault
was
yours,
So as to have a reason to be with everybody else.
And you wish that he wasn't so lonely
And you wish that a different he liked to be lonely like you do
And you wish that you didn't like being lonely like you do
And you wish that another he was lonely
And you wish that she knew that you were lonely, but assumed you were sad.
And you wish that you didn't enjoy brooding
But then you could be happy with something else for a change.
And you wish that you knew what a real smile looked like,
Because you don't believe that you've ever truly seen one
And you wish you were a little meaner so you could seem a little happier
And you wish you were a little differentΒ Β so you could want to be happier
And he wishes you were a little nicer because he doesn't know what mean is
And a different he wishes you were meaner so you could be somebody else
And a different he doesn't even know that you're nice at all.
And you wish that he thought you to be a sadist.
And you don't know why.
Maybe you just want to feel bad-***.
Maybe you just want to feel something new.
Maybe you know that he wants you to be something new.
Maybe you don't know that he is something new,
and you will be forever the same,
forever alone
an maybe you like it that way.
