Were You the One

You've lied to me
And tried to steal my soul
I can't try to be
Anything
When I can't be
Half a man
Or let alone
Come close
To being whole
You got me contemplating
My whole life
And constantly hating
All that I might
Once have learned to love
I'm so tired of waiting
To be something
You could be proud of
My regrets have pushed me
Past the edge
The mistakes I've made
Can't be undone
The painful things you've told me
Can never be unsaid
And I'm left to wonder
Were you ever the one
So why you gotta do these things
Why you gotta turn my
World upside down
You do all this shit to me
You don't care
About my misery
And you sure as hell
Don't ever stop
Just knockin’
Me around
I'm tired of this
I'm tired of you
I'm tired of me
I hate you so much it hurts me
It makes me
So unhappy to be
What I am
Whatever I was
I can't remember
Any of my past
I guess because
Of what I've become
Were you ever the one
I'd rather be loved
Than ever be clowned
I don't wanna
Be this lost
I wish my mind
Could be found
Am I a dog
Like you
Always said
Am I so wrong
And if I am
Then how could you
Be here so long
When you want
To be gone instead
What would it take
For you to go away
I can't take you being here
I wish that you
Would never stay
But I can't change
The way that I feel
I love you still
But I can't trust
A word you say
So like I said
Please go away!
And stay forever gone
With you here,
I can't go on
So leave me now
And have your fun
I don't give a fuck
Anymore
Do you either
Were you the one
So why you gotta do these things
Why you gotta turn my
World upside down
You do all this shit to me
You don't care
About my misery
And you sure as hell
Don't ever stop
Just knockin’
Me around
I'm tired of this
I'm tired of you
I'm tired of me
I hate you so much it hurts me
It makes me
So unhappy to be
What I am
Whatever I was
I can't remember
Any of my past
I guess because
Of what I've become
Were you ever the one
Maybe someday
I'll again learn to see
And by then
You'll be less
Than an agonizing
Memory
So fuck off, bitch
And forget I exist
I hate you
Just as much as I love you
Does that make you feel a thing
Give me back some
Of my dignity
But keep the damn ring
I don't want it back
Anymore than I want you
You have no fucking clue
What you've put me through
I know none of this is sinking in
I can't say everything I'm feeling now
Or why I ever got with you
Or what the fuck
I was thinking then
But as much joy as you've brought me
Yeah, right
I guess I gotta run
Since you won't leave
I hate you so much
For all you've done to me
But were you ever the one
So why you gotta do these things
Why you gotta turn my
World upside down
You do all this shit to me
You don't care
About my misery
And you sure as hell
Don't ever stop
Just knockin’
Me around
I'm tired of this
I'm tired of you
I'm tired of me
I hate you so much it hurts me
It makes me
So unhappy to be
What I am
Whatever I was
I can't remember
Any of my past
I guess because
Of what I've become
Were you ever the one
