Wish I Was Lyin'
Yearning for Truth: A Heartache Tale
Lyrics
It's Friday night and he still hasn't shown up
Disappointment that someone hasn't arrived as promised on a Friday night.
Called me saying he'd be late, so I'll just sit here and wait like a fool
Feeling like a fool for waiting after being told they'd be late.
Same old story, same sad song
Repetition of a familiar situation with a sad outcome.
He's out with her and he's stringing me along
Belief that the person is spending time with someone else and not prioritizing the speaker.
I wish I was lyin'
Expressing a desire for the situation to be untrue or fabricated.
I wish I was losing my mind
Desire to feel like this is just a mental breakdown or illusion.
I wish I could just wake up tomorrow
Hope for a better tomorrow, wishing everything would be fine when waking up.
And everything would be alright
Longing for a resolution or a better outcome in the future.
I wish I was crazy
Wishing for a state of irrationality or madness to explain the situation.
How did I lose and let her win
Questioning how the speaker lost and allowed another person to win in this situation.
I wish I could just go back to being
Longing to revert to the previous self or the previous state of the relationship.
The girl I was with him
Desire to return to the initial state or persona while being with the person in question.
I wish I was lyin'
Reiteration of wishing the situation was different or untrue.
I tell myself that I should believe him
Trying to convince oneself to believe the person but having doubts deep inside.
But I know down in my heart that they're sitting at a bar
Strong belief that the person is with someone else at a bar without mentioning the speaker.
And he hasn't even thought to mention me
Feeling neglected or forgotten by the person in question.
I wish I was lyin'
Repeated desire for the situation to be untrue or fabricated.
I wish I was losing my mind
Repetition of the desire to feel like this is just a mental breakdown or illusion.
I wish I could just wake up tomorrow
Hope for a better tomorrow and a wish for everything to be fine upon waking up.
And everything would be alright
Desire for a resolution or a better outcome in the future.
I wish I was crazy
Longing for a state of irrationality or madness to explain the situation.
How did I lose and let her win
Questioning how the speaker lost and allowed another person to win in this situation.
I wish I could just go back to being
Longing to revert to the previous self or the previous state of the relationship.
The girl I was with him
Desire to return to the initial state or persona while being with the person in question.
I wish I was lyin'
Continued repetition of the wish for the situation to be different or untrue.
