I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger.
I wished I love Jesus, the way my wife does.
I wish it had been easier, instead of any longer.
I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud,
that won't happen now, that won't happen now.

There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard,
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird,
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.
Top of the world.

I wished I'd a known you, wished I'd a shown you,
All of the things I was on the inside.
I'd pretend to be sleeping, when you come in in the morning
To whisper good-bye, go to work in the rain.
I don't know why, don't know why.

i feel empty. blah.
