Lyrics

Wish I could stay mad
But you know I don't have that bone in my body
Wish I could raise hell
But you know I'm too scared of what people think of me
Wish I could write you off
But you know I won't let that be the end of our story
Wish I was strong enough
To be okay with the fact you'll never say sorry
They say be careful what you wish for
It might come to haunt you
And god, I hope that's true
Wish I was your psycho ex
Put a hex on everything that you bought and left
Let it burn to a pile of ash
At your doorstep, while the neighbors call the cops
I'm ripping the engine, flipping you off
Wish I could give two fucks what you think
Let that ring on my finger grind gears down the kitchen sink
But the fantasy
You know it gets too bleak
I never could hold onto a mean streak
When I was a kid, thought a dream was a wish that your heart makes
Well now it's the nightmare and wake of my greatest mistake
Second-guessing every choice I made, like I could've planned this
Picking up every piece of myself that you took for granted
You said you didn't want to hurt me
That's just a lie, wish you'd pay
But you won't know the price
Of a psycho ex
Put a hex on everything that you bought and left
Let it burn to a pile of ash
At your doorstep, while the neighbors call the cops I'm
Standing in the front yard, laughing my ass off
Wish I had sent receipts to your family
Called up your best friend and made you a movie
But even the fantasy
You know it gets too bleak
I never could hold onto a mean streak
So don't take pity on me
I'd take revenge if I could
But, you know, hurting you
Wouldn't do no good
Just hurt me more than it should
Now I'm just the ex that helps you move out
Takes on the bills and quietly cleans house
While you move on and start brand new
And I'm stuck on the fact I can't stay mad at you
No I never could hold onto a mean streak
