I wish I could be original

But I’m just as broken as everyone else

Wish I could be beautiful

But I’m more weary than you’ll know

Wish I could breathe

But the air it gets more thin

Wish I could erase these mistakes

But now I wear them as my skin

Wish I could love

But there’s nothing I can give

Wish you could love me

But where could you even begin

Wish I could fly

So I could believe in tomorrow

I wish You would listen

But it doesn’t make a difference

We talk every single night

But all I can do is cry

I wish You cared enough

The way you did when I was young

Wish I could redeem the years that the locusts ate

but if I could have seen this coming

I’d have wished my life away
