i wish it was me - after all

I still can't believe you pulled the trigger
You left your key in my place
This hole is only getting deeper
I let you into my space

A crash-out lil' baby
I said I had no regrets and did I lie? Huh, maybe
I told my friends about you, they had swore I was crazy
So you won't have me lookin' like a f- crybaby, oh, no

Flatter your friends to not make a mess
Leave out the truth and the rest of that
Kind of a beautiful lesson that I learned, mm-mm
Baby, I hurt, but don't mention that
Write out the pain and the rest of that
If you wanted fire, let it burn, mm-mm

I only wish that I had did it though
You were always fuming and I never really wanted smoke
You tell 'em about me as if we were just some kinda joke
I'm still not sure what kinda demon that I had invoked

Can I tell the truth 'bout what I said?
I was just lying to your face
I didn't care that much anyway, huh
You see all this smoke and wonder how that can be good for my brain
I was wondering the same thing

When you stabbed me
In the back, yeah
I was gone, out
Fade to black, huh
I'm not dumb, no, knew we couldn't last
I just find myself wishin' that I was the one to tell you that

Pray the Lord find pity on my soul
Hydroplaning, I think I'm spinnin' outta control
I can't blame you 'cause you only played your role
I just blame you for bein' the one that I kissed and never told

I wish it was me
(Two wrongs can make a right after all)
I wish it was me
(I can't put up this fight after all)
I wish it was me
(Can I stand for what's right after all?)
I wish it was me
(I think I've seen the light after all)

I wish it was me
I wish it was me
I wish it was
I wish it was me
