yeah, it's sad to realize everything you've ever done or said to a person has been totally taken for granted and really all you've been is used the entire time of knowing the person.
i've known people like that... they like to say they're "so understanding, so level-headed, so thoughtful"...but in reality, they're nothing but a self-absorbed ass who passes judgment on others but feels free to do the things they supposedly are against. it's always ok for them to do it, but not ok for anyone else to. the type of person who believes in voting but never actually votes themselves.
this is one of my favorites...and i love the end the most. for me, it's her summing up all of the times she's listened to him complain to her about things, as if she's singing the last part during her last statement to him before she walks out the door.
"well, I've got some wishes of my own" ... and that's her closing bit in this song...very appropriate. people are so caught up in what they want they don't open their eyes long enough to give a damn about how anyone else feels. it's disgusting, and i like to think that after saying those last lines she's walking out the door, slamming it, then gets in the car and leaves the jerk for good.<p><b><i>Edited by delial on May 28 2008, at 06:48AM</i></b></p>
