Wish You Were Here Lyrics

Can't say I was too surprised

When it came to a bitter end

I confess I didn't mind

When our paths had crossed again

But soon as I walked in the room

My eyes set their sights on you

And all I felt was dread

I wish you were here

So I could be nearer

Counting down the days

With a smile on my face

I say I'm over you

We both know that isn't true

But what else can I say my dear

I can see that nothing's changed

Since we last convened

I probably look like I'm insane

So let me set the scene

I still love you, yeah, I know

Hate to say I told you so

But you've got a hold on me

I wish you were here

So I could be nearer

Counting down the days

With a smile on my face

I say I'm over you

We both know that isn't true

But what else can I say my dear

You know what I meant

I don't want you to forget me

So I take it day by day

But it's so hard to face that

Nothing's gonna give

The lights are going dim

And your resolve is set

You kept me walking on eggshells

Praying I wouldn't fuck up this time around

Will we recover? only time will tell

Just as long as I don't cry at the sound

Of your voice

It's not like I've got a choice

Wish you were here

Right here

I wish you were here

So I could be nearer

Counting down the days

With a smile on my face

I say I'm over you

We both know that isn't true

But what else can I say my dear

You know what I meant

I don't want you to forget me

So I take it day by day

But it's so hard to face that

Nothing's gonna give

The lights are going dim

And your resolve is set

I wish I'd known the outcome as I fell

All that I can do is wish you well
