I Wish

I've always been told to love myself
I try but I can never understand
It's hard for me to always keep it real
When I don't like the man I really am
I cover up the holes I can't fill
Or I hide them in the back of my mind
I overcompensate for my flaws
So all that people see is my disguise

I wish that I wasn't so emotional
I wish that I didn't always lose control
I'm told I got it good but I think it's bull
Cause I still wish

I wish I was a little bit older, little bit taller
Little bit bigger, little bit stronger
Little bit wiser, little bit kinder of a heart
I wish I was a little bit tougher, little bit harder
Little bit richer, little bit smarter
I just wanna be a little more of something that I'm not
I just wanna be a little more of something that I'm not
I just wanna be a little more of something that I'm not

Oh I wish that I'd never shoot and miss
I wish that I would never fake a smile
I wish that I could have my first kiss
I wish I'd fall in love for awhile

I wish that I wasn't so emotional
I wish that I didn't always lose control
I'm told I got it good but I think it's bull
Cause I still wish

I wish I was a little bit older, little bit taller
Little bit bigger, little bit stronger
Little bit wiser, little bit kinder of a heart
I wish I was a little bit tougher, little bit harder
Little bit richer, little bit smarter
I just wanna be a little more of something that I'm not
I just wanna be a little more of something that I'm not
I just wanna be a little more of something that I'm not

I wish I could say that I wouldn't change
Cause I'm okay, okay with me
But deep down I know I'm not even close
To being someone I want to be

I wish I could say that I wouldn't change
Cause I'm okay, okay with me
But deep down I know I'm not even close
To being someone I want to be

I wish I was a little bit older, little bit taller
Little bit bigger, little bit stronger
Little bit wiser, little bit kinder of a heart
I wish I was a little bit tougher, little bit harder
Little bit richer, little bit smarter
I just wanna be a little more of something that I'm not
I just wanna be a little more of something that I'm not
I just wanna be a little more of something that I'm not
