I Wish I Liked You

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
