Congratulations, I Hate You - Alesana

No one ever said that life was fair

And I’m not saying that it should be

So knowing that you are what you want to be and I’m not comes as no surprise

But don’t expect me to be happy for you

And don’t smile at me and tell me things will work out for me too

I don’t want your pity

I hate your pity

Taste your vanity and its sweet bitterness

As you hide behind your veil of

My stolen hopes and lost dreams

(I watched you steal my thoughts)

You took them all

(And had to see you smile)

As you build your dreams

On my shattered hopes

I’ll look back on

A day once loved

And fantasize for

Tragedy

Swallow your pity

Beg me to make this easier

And listen to my hopeless cries

Suffer alone

In emptiness

I lust to

See you swallowed by

The mess that

You left in your wake

Disgust lies deep within

Your empty (gaze)

Beg me to make this easier

And listen to my hopeless cries

Send stares into

Your meaningless eyes

My

Envy can’t describe how I loathe you

For having all the stars

Leaving my eyes to marvel the sky

Knowing it should be mine

Yet it’s you I see wasting the dream

That only I deserve

I’ll tear off your face

To see your smile

As you build your dreams

On my shattered hopes

I’ll look back on

A day once loved

And fantasize for

Tragedy

Beg me to make this easier

And listen to my hopeless cries

Send stares into

Your meaningless eyes
