Wishing I Was Naïve Lyrics by Headswim

Despite Yourself

1997

[Verse 1]
Never cared for yesterday
Never thought I'd be ashamed
Even in the sun so close to pain
Wishing I was naïve again
This one is for love
In the sun kicking up dust
I never thought you'd fall
When it comes
It comes to us all
[Bridge]
And I'm missing you now
More than I'm worth
Becoming a curse
[Chorus]
Wish I was naïve
You could comfort me
Say anything you please
I'm only crying, you see
[Verse 2]
Sad to see you fade
Sad to see you go
Come back yesterday
I won't be so cold
[Bridge]
And I'm missing you now
More than I'm worth
Becoming a curse
And I'm missing you now
More than I'm worth
Becoming a curse
[Chorus]
Wish I was naïve
You could comfort me
Say anything you please
I'm only crying, you see
Wish I was naïve
You could comfort me
Say anything you please
I'm only crying, you see
Ooh
I'm only crying, you see
