The Neighbourhood - Sting lyrics

I try to be someone,

I’d like to be someone else for you

If I had done something a little bit differently

You would’ve moved in a better direction than this baby

If you were human, if you were who I assumed you were

You wouldn’t have done this

I thought I did something,

But you would do anything to bring me down

And she brought me down

You say that you love me

But you act like you don’t

You used to adore me, laughed at all of my jokes

Don’t take this the wrong way

You put me harm’s way

When we had a first kiss, it was your favorite thing

And you weren’t lying when you said it would sting

Don’t take this the wrong way

You put me harm’s way

Imagine our children, I thought they’d be

Mommy’s a saint, but daddy lives in a dream

Don’t take this the wrong way

I told you I’m sorry, can’t thank you enough

I thought that I loved you, but we weren’t in love

We weren’t in love

You were my dream

The way we would f*ck

You like to think, but when pushed through the back

Ignoring them Wroblems, used to hold what we had

Don’t take this the wrong way

Don’t take this the wrong way
