I Wish

(Album: Homesick - 2020)

Come inside
Don't wanna say this in the car
I wanna talk to you face to face
Let's not sit here in the dark

Can't put this off
Can't wait till later
'Cause it's breaking my heart
To know I failed ya

I wish I was the man that you needed
I wish that I could say the words and mean it
We both deserve fireworks, thought this could be forever
But it won't
I wish that I could love you
I wish that I could love you but I don't

Deep inside
We both know this ain't right
When's the last time we felt butterflies?
We don't even bother to fight

I've kept you close
I've kept you near
But we're not settling down
We're just settling here

I wish I was the man that you needed
I wish that I could say the words and mean it
We both deserve fireworks, this could be forever
But it won't
I wish that I could love you
I wish that I could love you

It'll be hard to see you with somebody else
But I'll just smile and wish you well

I hope he'll be the man that you needed
I hope that he will say those words and mean it
We both deserve fireworks, could've been forever
But we missed it
I wish that I could have loved you
I wish that I could have loved you but I don't
