I Wish I Liked You

Lyrics

I wish I liked you
 Enough to be my friend
 I wish you liked me
 Enough to be my friend
 I think of you and shudder
 When we meet I just pretend
 You'd be a lovely person
 If you were someone else
 You'd be a lovely person
 If you were someone else
 You're uncomfortable to be with
 You don't even like yourself
 You want to be offended
 You're arrogant and vain
 The only thing that cheers you up
 Is someone else's pain
 And you moralise
 Yeah you moralise
 You make me feel guilty
 As if I owed you one
 I'm always trying to appease you
 As if I owed you one
 Well I'm gonna have to work on that
 I owe you nothing
 Nothing at all
 Cause if you've done me any favors
 They were double-edged and cold
 You didn't do them out of love
 You just wanted to get some kind of hold
 I've got your number
 But I never call you back
 I've got your number
 But I never call you back
 You've got some thick-skinned friends
 Maybe they'll call you back
 Your eyes glaze over
 Every time somebody that's not you speaks
 Your eyes glaze over
 Every time somebody else speaks
 Upstairs something howls
 Outside something shrieks
 I wish I liked you
 Enough to be my friend
 I wish I liked you
 Enough to be your friend
 I think of you and shudder
 I hope we never meet again
