Your Spite

It was the day you turned seventeen,
I wish I could say wasn't what I mean.
But I was never one for breathing lies
No matter how much it kills me inside.

I was upset and but I wouldn't say I was wrong
I'm sorry the truth hurts but it was you who stung.
Never said I wanted to be with you, remember?
So get those words out of your head, because
I'm not a liar.
No, I can't be a liar.

Though the truth does bend from day to day
And if I could wish upon a star I'd wish you to stay.
I wanted your happiness for you and if
that means losing you now for some other girl
I'd happy to oblige.

You never said we were close, but then again
you denied a beating heart.
I hope to god you're a lucky man now
because one day you'll realize I was right
and you left out of being you and in spite.
I hope to god you find your happiness now
because this ain't easy, this isn't easy
on either of us now.
