Wish I could blame this on your youth

but that would only make

a martyr of the truth

I chose to see only the

beauty in your eyes

never the shame

never the lives



Wish i could blame this on the sun

I never seem to be the chosen one

just a glimpse and you were gone

this place without you seems all wrong



Wish I could call you on the phone

wish you happiness

wherever you call home

wish this night wasn't so dark and mean



I wish you'd see me

when you dream



These are the days

that won't let go

this is the shame

we're not allowed to show

this is the anger from inside

these are the days that will not die



I wish these thoughts of you would end

I wish that someday you could learn to be my friend

I wish I'd never kissed your face

I wish these thoughts to be erased



I wish that someday you might find

a little love

a little peace of mind

I wish that I don't fall apart

I wish that you'd still hold me

in your heart
