Lyrics: Alesana. Congratulation, I Hate You.

No one ever said that life was fair
And I'm not saying that it should be
So knowing that you are where you want to be
And I'm not comes as no surprise

But don't expect me to be happy for you
And don't smile at me
And tell me things will work out for me too
I don't want your pity, I hate your pity

Taste your vanity, its sweet bitterness
As you hide behind your veil
Of my stolen hopes and lost dreams
You took them all
I watched you steal my thoughts
And had to see you smile

As you build your dreams
On my shattered hopes
I'll look back on a day once loved
And fantasize for tragedy
Swallow your pride

Beg me to make this easier
And listen to my hopeless cries

Suffer alone in emptiness
I lust to see you swallowed
By the mess that you left in your wake
Disgust lies deep within your empty gaze

Beg me to make this easier
And listen as my hopeless cries
Send stares into your meaningless eyes

My envy can't describe
How I loathe you for having all the stars
Leaving my eyes to marvel
The sky knowing it should be mine

Yet it's you I see
Wasting the dream that only I deserve
I'll tear off your face to see your smile

As you build your dreams
On my shattered hopes
I'll look back on a day
Once loved and fantasize for tragedy
