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
