I wish that I could take away the pain,
That’s very deep inside my heart.
I wish we didn’t have to play these games,
That’s tearing all this love apart.
I wish the love we had would have never ever changed,
Cause girl, you know we’re both to blame
I wish that I could turn my back
And walk away,
Just walk away.
I wish that I could tell my eyes to stop crying,
I wish that you would tell your friends to stop lying,
I gave you everything a man could give a woman,
Like fancy cars, and diamond rings,
And all the things that money brings,
My time, my heart, and soul
Were happy on someone on who
And it wasn’t good enough
How could you be so blind?
[Chorus]
I wish, I wish
I didn’t feel this emptiness, oh
And I wish, I wish
It didn’t have to end like this, oh
I wish that you and I would be a family,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
But wishing is all I have
I wish that I could turn the hands of time,
Go back to the night that we went wrong.
I wish you knew the things you put me through,
I’ve got to get you off my mind.
I wish that you would just pick up the phone,
To tell you baby, please come home.
And I wish that I could take away the things I said.
Though you said some messed up things too.
I wish that I could tell my eyes to stop crying,
I wish that you would tell your friends to stop lying.
I gave you everything a man could give a woman,
Like fancy cars, and diamond rings,
And all the things that money brings.
My time, my heart, my soul
Were happy with someone on who
And it wasn’t good enough,
How could you be so blind?
[Chorus]
