Analysis of Cruel Comparison
say I'm like her
The one that hurt you
It's really a cruel statement to make
I'm nothing like her
If all you said was true
I really don't want to be like her
Lies, deception and other traits
I'm like her
Am I now?
It can't be true
Your words stung
What you said to me
I buried deep down inside
You've forgotten what you said
But I haven't yet
I'll put it behind me
But I'll never forget
I'm nothing like her
If all you said was true
I really don't want to be like her
