If I Were You, I’d Wish Me Nothing But Broken Hearts
If I were you, I’d wish me nothing but broken hearts
Just lemons that seem sweet at the start
If I were you, I’d curse my name
I’d never talk to me again
And I suppose that’s just what you’ve been trying to do
Oh I do hope that you’ll find someone new
A better version of me, not so sad and confused
And I hope that you’ll do right by her, and she’ll do right by you
With every disappearance, I get a little stronger
I learn to live alone for a little bit longer
But every little interference leaves me longing for the moment
I shut down, hurt and proud, and leave another heart to drown
I’m just like you, I’m left with nothing but broken hearts
If I were you, I’d wish me nothing but broken hearts
Chances to believe that turn not so much sour, as tart
For all the cryin’, hurts all the more
For all this lyin’, we’ve no more settled the score
Maybe I should have invited you to join me as the guilty parting, in parting
I try to take all the painful memories
Turn them into remnants of old bad dreams
Become the speaker to be spoken to, the seeker to receive
But I get torn back to reality, I’m mourning every awakening
If I were you, I’d wish me nothing but broken hearts
Good reasons to feel with better reasons to part
If I were you, I’d be layin’ blame
I’d want to shame me, but I’m already ashamed
We’re just both people in pain that don’t know what else to do
But I don’t think I should apologize
Leave dry eyes dry, and let lying dogs lie
I’ve berated myself, hated, but had to recognize
That truth with time turns to mystery, and good intentions can terrorize
Oh I do hope that you’ll find someone new
A better version of me, not so sad and confused
And I hope that you’ll do right by her, and she’ll do right by you
With every disappearance, I get a little stronger
I learn to live alone for a little bit longer
But every little interference leaves me longing for the moment
I shut down, hurt and proud, and leave another heart to drown
Oh it’s true, I’m left with nothing but broken hearts
Just like you, I’m left with nothing but broken hearts
I have nothing but broken hearts
