Despised

Yesterday you said

We could have been a team

Us and them - You and me

Why was I surprised

You wished that you were dead

Everything (all because) because of me



You were the sweetest thing I'd tasted

How could I ever want for more

But you didn't understand

You didn't need the things I am

(It could have been so easy to be anything you choose)



And everyday I fantasised

But that was then

This is life

In every way I've paid the price

To be with you

To be despised



Yesterday you said

You'd never felt so high

With anyone, in your whole life

But look at me

Tell me it's a lie

There's no-one farther from your mind

(It's so easy to believe everything's allright)



And there was more than one chance only

There wasn't any more to prove

Did you do it just to spite

Did you care if you were right



And everyday I fantasised

But that was then

This is life

In every way I've paid the price

To be with you

To be despised



Yesterday you said

Everything was fine

Nothing's perfect all the time

As if you could - Show me there's a line

Over which there's nothing good

(It just feels so tasteless when you say love is on our

Side)



And you took more than I ever gave you

I couldn't ever tell a soul

You didn't need me as a friend

You just took me to the end



And everyday I fantasised

But that was then

This is life

In every way I've paid the price

To be with you

To be despised
