i wish things could have been different
for all of us
i don't talk to any of you
as much as i should
i wish i had never met you
i wish i had never loved you
i wish you hadn't died
but oh look, you're dead
too bad, so sad
i wish things had been different
i wish you weren't my best friend
i wish we weren't bros
because you put up with more than anyone
i know
and you still have my back
like no one else
i wish i could tell you what i really feel inside
i know you could help
even if no one else could
i wish i could tell you what you mean to me
but i can't seem to find the right words
i hope you'll move on
after i'm gone
i wish she hadn't told me that
because i'm finding it hard to look at you the same
but knowing that you don't feel that way anymore
is a comfort
i wish you would be happy
because i know you try to hide it
in some ways you're in me
you feel pain, too
but you focus on mine
to get your mind off yours
i wish you didn't have to hurt so much
i wish you didn't love me
i wish i hadn't ever said hello
because i've fueled a fire
i know i don't love you
like i should love you
i wish i hadn't asked you
and i wish you hadn't said
"yes"
because we're going to be in it for life
and our life will end up a mess
i wish you could find someone else
to love, because you deserve someone
better than me
a better man than me
you deserve the absolute best
i've never met a girl who's better than you
and yet you want to marry me
and i think you know that you won't be happy
with me
i wish you could back out
i wish you could have hit sixteen
