Did you ever?

Did you ever hear a song that spoke the words that you longed to say, long after the situation was over? Long past the time of the other party caring? There is this one song  that- every time I hear it--makes me want to go back and say the exact words to someone. I won't name names, but I am sure it'll be obvious to a few of you. (I made a few tense changes, to make it make better sense)

According to you
I was stupid,
I was  useless,
I couldn't do anything right.
According to you
I was difficult,
Hard to please,
Forever changing my mind.
I was a mess in a dress,
Couldn't show up on time,
Even if it would've saved my life.
According to you. According to you.


But according to him
I'm beautiful,
Incredible,
He can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
Irresistible,
Everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
So baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
According to you.


According to you
I was boring,
I was moody,
You couldn't take me any place.
According to you
I sucked at telling jokes cause I always gave it away.
I was the girl with the worst attention span;
You were the boy who put up with it.
According to you. According to you.


But according to him
I'm beautiful,
Incredible,


He can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
Irresistible,
Everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
So baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
According to you.


I needed to feel appreciated,
Like I wasn't hated. oh-- no--.
Why couldn't  you see me through his eyes?
