I WISH

I wish I could say

I'd let you back in

I should've known

you'd do it again.

I wish I could tell you

I'd be there for you

next time you'll know

what not to do.

I wish I could promise

to not walk away

the past is behind me

I don't want to stay,

I wish that our friendship

was still worth the pain

I'm sick of the struggle

this fight is insane.

I wish that goodbye

was easy for me

but now it's too late

it won't come to be.

I wish I could show you

again I would wait

but this time I'm leaving

I'll make myself hate.

I wish in the hallway

I could offer a smile

this circle of darkness

will last me a while.

I wish I could tell you

I won't walk away

but this I will promise

I'm not gonna stay.
