I Wish

I wish I had the courage to speak to you in person
But I know I'm difficult to converse with
I wish I had the braveheart I desperately need
Because then I would be the man I should be

I wish I wasn't heartbroken so I could be brave
Instead of being awkward and to my doubt being a slave
I wish I had the courage to live free
But life has always fallen in on me

I know you want me to talk to you, I know that you care
But my fear when I'm around you pops out of thin air

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I wish life wouldn't have thrown me a curveball
So I could be happy and watching your curtain calls
I wish I was normal, but instead I'm awkward
And I know you can't stand it so I try so hard to be normal,
And I know you might not read this so I'm venting it here and I hate how I am, believe it.
