I Like You Better Before
I liked you better before you knew me
You didnt smoke cigarettes
You didnt drink coffee
Drank moderately, now youre an alkie
You didnt even curse when I was a mystery
Back then, back when you didnt know me at all
I thought I caught a nice guy who caught my eye
You didnt have a care, you didnt have a clue
But seems I brought the worst out in you
One day I passed by your apartment
Thinking that Id catch some girl
Kiss you goodbye with a lingering kiss
I know we broke up, Ill get out of this faze
My imagination gets the best of me
You end up getting the rest of me
The obsessed, crazy, drama queen
If you know what I mean
Anyway, youre never there
You could be anywhere
On an airplane, maybe in a car
On a world tour being a superstar
I liked you better
When you didnt know no better
You didnt think that I was, I was the antichrist
I liked you better
Before you got a stylist
When friendship bracelets sufficed, but now your wrists are iced
I liked you better before you knew me
You didnt smoke cigarettes
You didnt drink coffee
Drank moderately, now youre an alkie
You didnt even curse when I was a mystery
Back then, back when you didnt know me at all
I thought I caught a nice guy who caught my eye
You didnt have a care, you didnt have a clue
But seems I brought the worst out in you
Five stages of breaking up started with denial
Fuck, we were just taking off for a while
Thought it was permanent
Better get myself some anger management
Bargaining was the next phase
Gave my word that I changed my ways
I swear to God Ill be a freakin little angel
Please just stop putting me through hell
But he didnt buy what I was selling
I spent about a month on Saturn dwelling on the past
At last it occurred to me
You didnt give a damn
Time to get with the program
I liked you better
When you werent popular
Before your friends started calling me (Na, na, na, na, na)
The psycho bitch
Trends didnt matter to you
But now youre all into the way you look
Your iPhone ringing off the hook
And my new ringtone is the theme of the Wicked Witch
I liked you better before you knew me
You didnt smoke cigarettes
You didnt drink coffee
Drank moderately, now youre an alkie
You didnt even curse when I was a mystery
Back then, back when you didnt know me at all
I thought I caught a nice guy who caught my eye
You didnt have a care, you didnt have a clue
But seems I brought the worst out in you
Its like night and day
Its like Jekyll and Hyde
Ive created a monster
Its alive!
I miss the person I was
Before I became possessed
And the object of everything you detest
I liked you better before you knew me
I liked you better before you knew me
Back then, back when you didnt know me at all
I liked you better before you knew me
I liked you better before you knew me
You didnt smoke cigarettes
You didnt drink coffee
Drank moderately, now youre an alkie
You didnt even curse when I was a mystery
Back then, back when you didnt know me at all
I thought I caught a nice guy who caught my eye
You didnt have a care, you didnt have a clue
But seems I brought the worst out in you
