I Wish You Knew

I wish I could find the words to make my mistakes less than marks upon your arm
I wish I could find the way to love you without letting you come to such harm
I wish I could trust myself enough to trust that you won’t walk away from me
I wish you knew how much I cared for you, I pushed you back then jumped into the sea

I wish you knew how much I would have given to be safe within your words
I wish you knew how much I would have given to be safe within your arms
I wish you knew how much I would have given to be safe with you here tonight
I wish you knew how much I think about letting you know how sorry I truly am

Truth is, you were my truth and everything I stood for
Problem was, you were the solution to every question I had
If only I could have weathered the storm
If only I could have kissed your forehead and promised the moon
For I pushed you away from me, For death to take me far too soon
