i wish Lyrics by Sam Short

SS2*

2024

[Verse 1]
No one before
Had seen me naked like you did
Layin' it all out on your floor
I gave you more than just my skin
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave my skin, my bones, my beating heart (Heart)
You gave your mad, your sad, and all your scars (Scars)
I fixed you up, and you pulled me apart (Me apart)
I wish you weren't the way you are
[Chorus]
I guess I wish that you loved me the way that I loved you
The way that I wanted
I wish that you didn't just use me to take up the space
And then throw me away like an object
Like decorative garbage you found at thе thrift store
I wish I was worth more, wish it would hurt less
I guеss if I had one wish to spare
I'd wish that I didn't care, care
[Post-Chorus]
Care, care, care, care, care
Care, care, care, care (I wish I didn't care)
Care, care, care, care, care
Care, care, care
[Verse 2]
I gave you everything you wanted
And you took it from me
And empty-handed, I was useless
You used that against me
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm speedin' down the interstate
And I'm cryin' hard to Ethel Cain
And I pray, and pray for better days
But today, all day
[Chorus]
I guess I wish that you loved me the way that I loved you
The way that I wanted
I wish that you didn't just use me to take up the space
And then throw me away like an object
Like decorative garbage you found at the thrift store
I wish I was worth more, wish it would hurt less
I guess if I had one wish to spare
I'd wish that I didn't care, care
[Post-Chorus]
Care, care, care, care, care (I wish that I didn't care)
Care, care, care, care (I wish I didn't)
Care, care, care, care, care (I wish I didn't care)
Care, care, care
[Bridge]
I gave you everything you wanted and you took it from me
Everything you wanted and you took it from me
Gave you everything you wanted
I just wanted to be wanted
I gave you everything you wanted and you took it from me
Everything you wanted and you took it from me
[Outro]
But if I had one wish to spare
I'd wish that I didn't care, care
