Sometimes I Just Want to Know What it's Like to be You

I've always wondered
What it would be like to be you.
Wondered what it would feel like
To do the things you do.

You play games
With people's minds
You play these games
With no remorse of any kind.

You break hearts,
Destroy lives too.
Oh, what I'd give
To, just for one day, be like you.

I'd take your soul
And tear it apart.
And all that will remain
Are shattered pieces of your heart.

You will feel
As if you you're about to die.
Oh, you will beg for the end
And that is no lie.

Sometimes I wish I knew
Just how to be so oblivious.
I wish I knew
How you could keep doing this.

You have stolen my heart
And broken it in two.
I often wonder
What it would be like to be you.

To be so unconscious
As to how people feel.
Can you not see
That the pain you cause is real?

If I were you,
Just for one day,
I think I would know
Just what to say:

I'd say the things
You said to me
I'd promise to be yours
For all eternity.

And when you start
To fall for those lies.
I'll laugh at every tear
Falling from your eyes.

I will walk out on you
When you need me the most.
Then I'll disappear from your life.
Disappear like a ghost.

But then I'll haunt you
From the side lines.
I'll destroy your life,
The way you destroyed mine.
