True Romance
She Wants Revenge Lyrics

Open your eyes and see me,
Acknowledge my presence and pay attention to me

Tell me that it's not too late.
Assure me that there is still time to work things out

Whisper to me a sad song,
Express your emotions to me in a somber tune

Weighing us down in shame.
Causing us to feel guilt and regret

I always said I believed you,
Confessing faith in you and your words

You told me that was so cliche.
You found it to be boring and unoriginal

And with every kiss I resented you
I held contempt towards you despite the intimacy shared

Because your feelings never got in the way
You never let your emotions drive your actions or decisions

I know that you never loved me;
I realize that you were never in love with me

I know that you never cared at all,
I understand that you were indifferent towards me

Maybe just one more dance
Perhaps there is a slight chance for a romantic connection

Cause that's as close as you're gettin' to a true romance
A romantic relationship with me is not a possibility

Open your heart and feel me,
Let your emotions guide your interaction with me

Tell me you don't feel the same.
Inform me that your feelings don't match mine

I dig down deep for forgiveness,
I search within myself to grant absolution

And still you're busy placing the blame.
You are still fixated on assigning fault

This isn't about right or wrong now,
The matter at hand is no longer a question of morality

It's not about wasted time.
The focus is not on the time that was spent

I should have paid closer attention,
I should have been more observant and perceptive

But I didn't bother reading the signs.
I neglected to interpret the signals and hints

No my love we can't be friends,
We cannot have a platonic relationship

In face I liked you much better
I preferred the façade of who you pretended to be

When you'd just pretend.
When you would put on a false front

Open your arms and hold me,
Embrace me with affection and care

Tell me it'll be alright.
Convey confidence in a positive outcome

Tell me the thing you've never told a soul
Disclose a secret to me that you have never shared with anyone

That keeps you up at night.
That preys on your thoughts during the night

When could you tell it was over?
At what point did you know the relationship had ended?

When did you turn on me?
When did you start treating me unfavorably?

I'd cry if I thought it would change your mind
I would weep if I believed it would alter your opinion

Cry for the girl I hoped you to be.
Cry for the ideal version of yourself that I envisioned you could be
