Despised Lyrics by Mesh (UK)

In This Place Forever

1996

Yesterday you said
We could have been a team
Us and them - You and me
Why was I surprised
You wished that you were dead
Everything because of me

You were the sweetest thing I'd tasted
How could I ever want for more
But you didn't understand
You didn't need the things I am

And everyday I fantasise
But that was then
And this is life
In every way I've paid the price
To be with you
To be despised

Yesterday you said
You'd never felt so high
With anyone, in your whole life
But look at me
Tell me it's a lie
There's nothing further from your mind

And you took more than I ever gave you
I couldn't ever tell a soul
You didn't need me as a friend
You just took me to the end

And everyday I fantasise
But that was then
And this is life
In every way I've paid the price
To be with you
To be despised
