I wish I could tell myself you never loved me,
Wish I could say you never had my heart,
But I know that I'd be lying to myself
Because it's been yours from the start.
I wish I could find those words
That could finally make you care.
I wish I could snatch them from the sky,
As if they're flying way up there.
I wish I could warm your bitter heart,
The way I used to when we touched,
But you'd only fly away again
No matter how hard I clutched.
Sometimes I wish you were a star,
Singing to me from the night sky,
Burning bright, for me, it seems,
With a deep love we can't deny.
I wish that I could put my heart in a box,
Safe, with a lock and a hidden key,
So I could forget the day I fell in love
And forget you fell for me.
I wish with a fiery passion from within,
One that burns hotter than the sun,
That you'd give me back a beating heart,
Instead of this tattered, broken one.
