Anyone But You


VERSE 1
We could have had a friendly debate
One without judgment or even hate
But you attacked everything about me
You’re a predator with an ego to feed
Build yourself up, knock me down
Like you’re wearing a fucking crown
I’ll spread my wings, fly into the blue
Anyone but you, jerk, anyone but you!

VERSE 2
We could have had a nice dinner date
Ice cream and sex after finishing our plates
But you made me fear for my own safety
That’s why I haven’t been flirty lately
Your soft touch makes my blood go cold
You believe my body is yours to hold
Your so-called love was never even true
Anyone but you, babe, anyone but you!

VERSE 3
You could have taught me a new skill
I wouldn’t have minded the tuition bill
But you marked me with C’s, D’s, and F’s
The midterms hadn’t even started yet
Convince me that I’m mediocre at best
All because I couldn’t pass your test
Class dismissed, nothing more to prove
Anyone but you, prof, anyone but you!

VERSE 4
Dirty bastards come from all walks of life
They don’t always carry a gun or a knife
All they need is just a little bit of power
To turn good people into screaming cowards
Playing with your brain and with your heart
Until you want to rip your fucking skin apart
Whenever she tells you that love is blue
All you have to say is, “Anyone but you!”

VERSE 5
A dead cockroach would be just as friendly
As any role model who plays a better enemy
As any stranger who lacks true empathy
As any troll who laughs at you with anonymity
As any friend who stabs you in the front and back
As any lover who leaves you with eyes so black
As any preacher who thinks his bullshit is true
Anyone but you, fucker, anyone but you!
