I wish I didn’t feel bad after ignoring your text
I wish I didn’t think of you every night
I wish I knew how to sleep after knowing I hurt someone
I wish I knew how to be heartless
I wish nothing fazed me
I wish I had the talent to do everything that pushes people away
yet they always want to stay
I wish I knew how to talk my way out of things
and make people believe my lies
I wish I knew how to break your heart
and call it love”
