She is everything that I couldn’t be
She is soft and sweet
sugar stirred into your morning tea
She is passive with her speech
Always submissive in the sheets
She is the woman of your secret dreams
sugar-coated, the cherry on top
can’t stop dreaming kind of fantasy
And I don’t blame her
and I don’t blame you
She’s lovely, soft, and sweet
She’s all the things I simply would never be
so I loathe her because
You love her
You love her and I hate her
Because of you
Because of who you’ll always choose
I’m sure her perfume is better than mine
And I’m sure whenever you call
She’s always on time
sugar-coated, the cherry on top
Can’t stop dreaming kind of fantasy
And I don’t blame her
And I don’t blame you
She’s lovely, soft, and sweet
She’s all the things I simply would
never be
So I loathe her because you love her
You love her and I hate her
Because of you
Because of who you’ll always choose
And I don’t think I’m mean
don’t think I’m bitter
I just know my tears will never outshine her glitter
