lyrics

No, you’re not gonna like this
Picture the person that you hate the most
They might just show you around town
I bet you haven’t seen these things before

Stops behind an alley, frozen, long tall sally
Expose you, are you malleable? He’ll show you out
He’s got an eye for an eye, and a tooth and a nail in the dust behind him
You know he knows best (of course, he knows best)
Falling in reverse, never say a curse
About you, he’ll never turn his back, unless he wins
No doubt, no doubt, he’ll never lose his touch
You’ll wanna analyse this, player

Knocking on your door with his grin
Ear to ear
Best friend, I detest you

Who do you think you are?

I’m not lying anymore
I can’t do this anymore

I wanna show you what I’m thinking
I want to show you the insides of my mind
Just for one second, tell you about a man
Just for one second, a measly man
He thinks he’s got it all figured out, thinks he’s got it all under wraps
He told you that he can’t do it but he shows that you he can
Just for one second, he’s a liar
Just for a lifetime, he’s a liar
You never hold a grudge but you let your perception shift
Until you’re no longer interested
Really, which one is worse?
His hands on your purse, on your brain, in your mind
In my mind, and what do I find?
I’m still trying to be like him
Just for one second, I’m trying to be like him
Why do we want to become the things we hate the most?
The things that we hate the most?
I just don’t understand people like you
Taking advantage of your surroundings
All the family that you lost
You're living the high life, all over the high life, you're living the high life
I can tell you, you're definitely high, love
Or else you’re truly something I’ve never encountered before
Down the street you’ve got what you need over the counter, boy
Damn it, you make it look easy, never flounder boy
Merry go rounder, not an all rounder, just a winner boy
Alienate yourself because you’re the king
You’re the king
You’re what I hate the most
Personified
You’re what I hate the most
Still alive
Just for a second, just for a lifetime, you’re what I hate the most

Who do you think you are?

I’m not lying anymore
I can’t do this anymore

Knocking on your door with his grin
Ear to ear
Best friend, I detest you
