A love song with a tragic ending.
I WISH, IWISH
I followed you around
As you pulled the strings
Of my heart
Telling me how much you needed me
Right from the start
I listened with intent
Hanging on your every word
I was struck by your wisdom
And by words I’d never heard
I wish, I wish I knew
What now I know to be true
It was only about me
It had nothing to do with you
She was beautiful and kind
A grade above my pay
She created poetic mishief
And heads out of clay
I was taken by her delight
In watching me ache
For all the love she would give
At night, by the lake
I wish, I wish I knew
What now I know to be true
It was only about me
It had nothing to do with you
And then the other shoe dropped
Right out of the sky
I knew I had to hide
Before the drama would make me cry
She just jumped without a warning
Drowned without a note
Leaving behind memories
And her beige overcoat
I wish, I wish I knew
What now I know to be true
I can only imagine
How all of this must seem to youmore
