Wishful Thinking Lyrics by Regulate

In The Promise Of Another Tomorrow

2018

Shape shifting device
Makes your blood turn to ice
Spent so much time blaming you
When it should've been me coming through
Saw that you wouldn't help yourself
I could've been there to pull
Pull you out from the shadow
Before it began to swallow

You're up against yourself
At war in your head
Stealing from the family who gave you bread
I know this isn't you
You're not as ugly as the things it makes you do
But in the end if there's one thing to say
I miss you, wish it didn't end this way

I've had this attitude for so long
Thinking it's a choice
And I know you chose to start it
But not end up this way
So I don't hate you for that
I hate thе awareness you lack
Not knowing what you're doing to us
But doing еverything to test our love

Look in the mirror and you're hating what you see
Thinking to yourself
What the fuck happened to me?
Shove inside your skin
Have that one drink
Snort it all up
But can you tell me for what?

You're up against yourself
At war in your head
Stealing from the family who gave you bread
I know this isn't you
You're not as ugly as the things it makes you do
But in the end if there's one thing to say
I miss you, wish it didn't end this way
