• I don't want to be her
    the girl in the corner
    I wish that she wasn't me
    I want to be that girl
    dancing in the limelight
    but she's just a little uptight

    Oh why
    I live like this now
    I don't know how
    I got like this
    Poisonous from your kiss
    I feel alive
    but I'm not ready to take that dive

    I see her face in the dark
    when she walks through the park
    I wish I weren't her
    that girl on the edge
    I want to be that other girl
    standing on the platform
    her heart isn't torn

    Oh why
    This is me now
    I don't know how
    I used to be
    like her you see
    then my world fell
    I hurled down and through hell

    Because of you
    I can't be like her again
    you turned me against myself
    I lay crying in the rain
    you looked back at me
    and you promised to
    'always be there to see
    my face in the morning light'
    you got down on your knee
    th ring was a sight

    I stood at the altar
    while hours passed
    I ran from the church
    it didn't last
    I thought I was yours
    obviously not
    I fell to the floor
    and with my final breath

    I shrieked
    'Lonely! forever
    lonely whenever'
    you broke my heart
    lonely forever
    no longer 'til death do we part.
