Wish I didn't have to know this feeling
Wish that I could say that I'm alright
Wish that I could say that I've been healing
But we both know that that would be a lie
Wish that I could call you for a minute
And finally we'd put my world to right
But instead I'm talking up towards the ceiling
And patiently I'll wait for a better time
I wish I didn't have to look for you in sunsets
I wish I had you here to guide me through the hard bits
I wish that I could hear your voice tell me I'm fine
But instead I'll wait patiently for another life
I've lived alone more years than I had with you
But somehow it still feels like yesterday
And the ten-year-old whose life was slowly shattered
She haunts me every time I hear your name
I wish I didn't have to look for you in sunsets
I wish I had you here to guide me through the hard bits
I wish that I could hear your voice tell me I'm fine
But instead I'll wait patiently for another life
I used to think all I needed was a letter
To show me things that I didn't know how
But now I know that nothing makes things better
Cause no matter what you'll never be around
I wish I didn't have to look for you in sunsets
I wish I had you here to guide me through the hard bits
I wish that I could hear your voice just tell me I'm fine
But instead but instead I'll wait patiently for another life
