I Wish
Wishing and Learning: Navigating Love's Changes
Lyrics
2 months doesn't feel like enough
Expressing that two months don't feel like sufficient time.
Doesn't feel like we ever spoke love
Feeling a lack of love in past communication.
But at the same time we don't feel estranged
Despite the distance, there's no sense of being estranged.
Cause the words we said feel like yesterday
Words spoken still feel recent, not distant.
I'm happy now, just me and me
Currently content being alone.
But that's not to say I don't miss the boy you used to be
Acknowledging a yearning for the person the ex-partner used to be.
I'm doing great
Present emotional state is positive.
And I want you to know
Expressing a desire for the ex-partner to know about personal progress.
Finally learning how to live and let go
Learning to live life and release emotional attachments.
It's the little things that still get the best of me
Small things still trigger emotional responses.
I wish that I could tell you this isn't how I wanted us to end
Expressing a wish for a different ending to the relationship.
I wish that I could talk to you, but I don't wanna be your friend
Desire to avoid friendship with the ex-partner.
I wish that I could forget it all and leave this pain behind
Wishing to forget the pain and move on.
I wish life didn't have to change, I wish love didn't make me blind
Expressing a desire for love to remain unaffected by change.
It's hard to believe that you've changed
Expressing difficulty in believing the ex-partner has changed.
But the boy I see isn't quite the same
Noticing a difference in the person from the past.
They say it's hard, especially the first
Acknowledging the difficulty, especially in the beginning.
There's nothing I can say that makes this better, or makes it worse
No words can significantly improve or worsen the situation.
I'm happy now, just me and me
Currently content being alone (repeated).
But that's not to say I don't miss the boy you used to be
Yearning for the past version of the ex-partner (repeated).
I'm doing great
Present emotional state is positive (repeated).
And I want you to know
Desire for the ex-partner to be aware of personal growth (repeated).
Finally learning how to live and let go
Continuing the process of learning to let go (repeated).
It's the little things, they still get the best of me
Small things still trigger emotional responses (repeated).
I wish that I could tell you this isn't how I wanted us to end
Expressing a wish for a different ending to the relationship (repeated).
I wish that I could talk to you, but I don't wanna be your friend
Desire to avoid friendship with the ex-partner (repeated).
I wish that I could forget it all and leave this pain behind
Wishing to forget the pain and move on (repeated).
I wish life didn't have to change, I wish love didn't make me blind
Expressing a desire for love to remain unaffected by change (repeated).
Who said that this was easy

Who said that this was hard

Who said that all you need is time to mend a broken heart
