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
