Wish
I wish I'd never texted you I wish I hadn't burdened you I wish you still cared I wish I wish I wish I wish I had kept quiet I wish we weren't friends I wish you were okay I wish I wish I wish But wishing cannot make the dead rise And wishing cannot help you and I We've tangled our lives, we've grown apart Now your name brings a beat of anxiety to my heart I wish I hadn't pointed out what was wrong I wish you hadn't told me you liked that one song I wish I hadn't listened to it too But wishing does no good for me and you Dandelion clocks, shooting stars Birthday candles, they can't take our scars No matter how awful, no matter the pain The memories we have will always remain And through the darkness, through the mist There are some memories of absolute bliss But I wish we hadn't made those, too Because our friendship was good for me, but not you
