Wish Lyrics

Wonder, whatever happened to the thunder?

I much prefer it to the silent kind of gloom

I'm doomed if he's done fighting for the thing we had

Before I lost sight of all the things we swore by

But it's so hard to swear by dreams

He has my photo in a locket

He holds the memory in his pocket

He's hoping I'll return to who I was back on the day we got it

Well, I'm trying, I'm trying

I'm trying

He says he loves me, but he loves me not

He's gotten me mistaken

For the image in his mind I set for me

He thinks he knows me, but he don't know a lot

I'm not all that convincing

'Cause I still can't hide what's wrong with us

He loves me for who I wish I was

Someday, I'll own a cabin on a blue lake

And spend my hours laughing, dreaming, free of care

For where I'm headed, 'cause I will have gotten there

And he'll see a girl as light as I said I'd be

If he could wait a little more

I keep that wish deep in a pocket

I hold it far away and lock it

'Cause I got so afraid of wishing things, so I forgot it

But I'm trying, I'm trying

I'm trying

He says he loves me, but he loves me not

He's gotten me mistaken

(You know he's gotten me mistaken)

For the image in his mind I set for me

He thinks he knows me, but he don't know a lot

I'm not all that convincing

'Cause I still can't hide what's wrong with us

He loves me for who I wish I was

Maybe that's just how it goes

Early on, we wear our best clothes

And it starts to fall apart

Once what's underneath shows

He's been holding hope for me

He's been holding out for me

And I've been holding on so tight

But I gotta let him be

'Cause he says he loves me, but he loves me not

He's gotten me mistaken

For the image in his mind, but that's not me

He thinks he knows me, but he don't know a lot

I'm not all that convincing

'Cause I still can't hide what's wrong with us

He loves me for who I wish I was
