This Time

Yesterday, he told me that he was the king

Well, practically anyway

Yesterday, he told me about her potential

To be anything he made her into

And so I sat, and I thought, and I wondered

About his stupid little universe

And how it all spins around on its axis of nonsense

And how anyone believes him at all

But I want to be mistaken

I want someone to prove me wrong

I want someone to figure it out for me this time

Just today he called to find I’m still alive

Well practically, anyway

Just today I left out the part where I tried

‘Cause I am just so tired of it all

And so I sat, and I thought, and I wondered

About his stupid little universe

And how it all spins around on its axis of nonsense

And how anyone believes him at all

But I want to be mistaken

I want someone to prove me wrong

I want someone to catch me so I’ll fall, fall again

And I, I want to be mistaken

I want someone to prove me wrong

I want someone to figure it out for me this time

Have you ever been in love where good days were just purely accidental?

Next time I’m hoping I can just at least get something right

Finally, I see that I have never loved him

Not half as much as he loves himself

And finally, I see that’s it’s all kind of tragic

That I wasted so much time there myself

But I want to be mistaken

I want someone to prove me wrong

I want someone to catch me so I’ll fall, fall again

And I, I want to be mistaken

I want someone to prove me wrong

I want someone to figure it out for me this time
