The Creep
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wish I had been that creep
That you wanted me to be
I wish I would've cheated and lied
If only I had been that creep
That you wanted me to be
You'd still be here by my side
Chorus:
But nice guys finish last,
It's a cliché but it's true
The good guys always get the shaft,
They never get the girl like you
I should've tried a little harder,
But I didn't know the game
My mom and daddy raised me right
So I guess they're part to blame
I should've treated you like you treated me
When you tore my heart in two
You should have stayed a little longer
You could have taught me how to lie
We could have been the perfect couple I am sure
I would've been your favorite creep,
I would've been your perfect guy
I would've been what you hate living life most for
(Chorus)
I wish I had been that creep
That wanted me to be
I wish I would've cheated and lied
If only I had been that creep
That you wanted me to be
You'd still be here by my side
