Wish I Said

(album: The Last Songs I'll Write About You (For Real) - 2023)

My phone lit up the other day
My heart stopped when I saw your name
30 minutes of small talk
Kept my cool then I hung up
Then I thought of all the things I didn't say

I wish I
Told you all the ways that you let me down
Like back in June when I hit the ground
And I spent 6 months waiting on your call
Wish I'd
Brought up all the ways that you made it seem
Like you gave a shit about me
How all you ever made me feel was small
I wish I said it all

But it probably wouldn't change a thing
I'd still end up taking all the blame
For something that you said
And I'd be the bad friend
You'd still hurt my feelings either way

I wish I
Told you all the ways that you let me down
Like back in June when I hit the ground
And I spent 6 months waiting on your call
Wish I'd
Brought up all the ways that you made it seem
Like you gave a shit about me
How all you ever made me feel was small
I wish I said it all
I wish I said it all

I hate the way you never listened
And I hate the way that I still miss ya
You never cared about me did ya

I wish I
Told you all the ways that you let me down
'Cause I'm so sick of telling myself
How all you ever made me feel was small
I wish I said it all
