Nobody Will Stand By You Poem by Ramona Thompson

Dark rewrite of The Pretender's I'll Stand By You

Oh, why are you so bad?
Anyone can tell
Just by looking in your eyes
Girl, you're telling nothing but lies
Come on and shut up about me now
You should be so ashamed
Ashamed enough to die
Really wish someone would run you through
It's about time
With your dark side
We were all through
If only something heavy would fall and crush you
At last we might have a reason to cheer you
Nothing you confess
Could make us hate you less

Nobody will stand by you
Nobody will stand by you
Don't nobody give a about you
Nobody will stand by you

We want you dead
We all want you dead
So very bad
Don't hold all your suicidal urges inside
Shut up and do it to yourself now
Hey, what you think you to live for?
Nothing
Nothing at all
No one likes you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let us push you along
Into that pit of Hell where you know your pitiful soul belongs

Nobody will stand by you
Nobody will stand by you
Don't nobody give a about you
Nobody will stand by you
Run don't walk into your darkest hour
Everyone you know has deserted you
Cos they know just like I know
You ain't nothing but a loser
That's why....
Nobody will stand by you

Oh if only something heavy would fall on your fat, lazy body
We might finally have a reason to cheer you
Always gonna be all alone
On your own
You'll never ever have anyone to call your own

Nobody will stand by you
Nobody will stand by you
Don't nobody give a about you
Nobody will stand by you

Nobody will stand by you
Nobody will stand by you
Ain't nobody that gives a about you
Nobody will stand by you

Ain't nobody that gives a about you
Nobody will stand by you
Nobody will stand by you
Ain't nobody that gives a about you
Forever lost inside of your darkest hour
Everyone you know has deserted you
Cos they know just like I do
You ain't nothing but a born loser
That's why...
Nobody will stand by you
Nobody will stand by you
Ain't nobody that gives a about you
