I Wish You Knew Lyrics by Dale Watson, Ray Benson

Dale & Ray

2017

[Chorus]
I wish you knew
How hard I've tried to tell you
How hard I've tried to get you off my mind
I wish you knew
How hard I've tried to sleep at night
Since I know that you're no longer mine
Since you let another be my time
[Verse 1]
If only half the things were true you say about my heart
Then I would have forgotten you since we've been apart
You said I forced my lips to kiss you when we said goodbye
You even said I forced the tears that came into my eyes
[Chorus]
I wish you knew
How hard I've tried to tell you
How hard I've tried to get you off my mind
I wish you knew
How hard I've tried to sleep at night
Since I know that you're no longer mine
Since you let another be my time
[Verse 2]
There's not a call that could be worse than knowing that you're gone
But in the picture, in your mind, I'm never all alone
You see me in another's arm just like I've been with you
By the way, I cried tonight, I only wish you knew
[Chorus]
I wish you knew
How hard I've tried to tell you
How hard I've tried to get you off my mind
I wish you knew
How hard I've tried to sleep at night
Since I know that you're no longer mine
Since you let another be my time
Since you let another be my time
