In this emotionally charged ballad, Alexander Stewart navigates the complex feelings of a painful breakup. Interestingly, he wishes his ex-partner had wronged him in some way, such as cheating on him, to make it easier for him to move on. The honesty and amicability of their parting leaves him in a state of confusion and longing. He's stuck in a cycle of sadness and nostalgia because there's no one to blame but himself. This song powerfully illustrates the paradoxical nature of love and loss - sometimes it's easier to heal when there's anger and resentment rather than just pure sorrow and regret. Ultimately, it underscores the struggle many face when trying to let go of someone who hasn't done anything wrong but simply isn't right for them anymore.
i wish you cheated
Lyrics
I'm anxious, kinda sad
Hard to be your best when you lost the best you had
Spending days just on my phone
Wondering where it all went wrong
I'm nervous, pretty wired
I said your name too much
Now my lungs got tired
Thinking maybe I'm to blame
I just need someone to hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You made this so damn hard for me
You and your god damn honesty
It got me thinking
I wish you woulda cheated
And smashed my heart to pieces
I wish I had a reason I could hate your guts for leaving
I wish you were the villain
A psycho with no feelings
So how do I move on
When you did nothing wrong (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Wish you did something wrong (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
But you did nothing wrong
Know it's messed up, kinda bad
But I wish we didn't talk and you just left like that
I'd be angry instead of numb
Dammit, who have I become
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You made this so damn hard for me
You and your god damn honesty
It got me thinking
I wish you woulda cheated
And smashed my heart to pieces
I wish I had a reason I could hate your guts for leaving
I wish you were the villain
A psycho with no feelings
So how do I move on
When you did nothing wrong (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Wish you did something wrong (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
But you did nothing wrong
In the middle of the night
I start to fantasize
That you would ruin my whole life
Oh
'Cause you're the best I had
And I keep running back
Like a god damn fool tryna change your mind
You were all mine
Can't believe
I wish you woulda cheated
And smashed my heart to pieces
I wish I had a reason I could hate your guts for leavin'
I wish you were the villain
A psycho with no feelings
So how do I move on
When you did nothin' wrong?
