I wish.

I wish I could see the man I love,
Instead of the one that breaks my heart.
The one I loved from the first kiss,
The one I wanted forever from the start.

I wish I could still see who you used to be,
Instead of what you are right now.
The man who won't tell me he loves me,
You put up with me, I don't know how.

I wish we were still what we used to be,
After the rose tinted glasses wore off,
I wish I still knew how to love you,
I wish I knew how to be enough.

I wish I hadn't spent the last year,
Mindlessly papering over the cracks.
Crying the nights I'm not with you,
Dancing on thumb tacks.

I wish you knew how desperately,
I've been trying to make us work.
Can't remember the last time
I could see clearly through the murk.

You have been my everything,
For only two years,
But suddenly, you're the instigator,
Not the guard from my fears.

You know, deep down, it's over.
You can see it in the way I act.
I'd leave right now, be out the door,
If I knew how to say it with tact.

Truth is, baby, I do love you,
I probably always will.
But I can't be the secret you're ashamed of,
Admit it, you are ashamed, still.

There's some years between us,
And we're the masters of our own demise.
A warm bed, filled with memories,
Is burning before our own eyes.
