If Only I Could Wish You Away

I'll take you by the hand

try to make you understand

I'll take you to a place

where you'll have plenty of space

I'll draw you a picture

or write a new chapter to our adventure

no matter how hard I try

no matter how many days go by

no matter how hard I cry

no matter how many lonely nights

I can't get you off my mind

even after all this time

I still long for the girl I now hate

if only I could wish you away

I'll show you everything

give you what you're missing

I'll make you feel alive

the way you did on those nights

I'll break it down for you

intoxication's all that's gotten me through

no matter how hard I try

no matter how many days go by

no matter how hard I cry

no matter how many lonely nights

I can't get you off my mind

even after all this time

I still long for the girl I now hate

if only I could wish you away

I'll change myself again

forget the nasty things I said

I'll show you true love

the kind we shared for so long

I've been sitting right here

a vivid memory I want to disappear

no matter how hard I try

no matter how many days go by

no matter how hard I cry

no matter how many lonely nights

I can't get you off my mind

even after all this time

I still long for the girl I now hate

if only I could wish you away

I may never ever see your face

or never ever hear your voice

I may never ever touch your skin

or never ever feel complete

but I'll never forget you

I'll never forgive you

I'll never forget you

but I'll never forgive you

no matter how hard I try

no matter how many days go by

no matter how hard I cry

no matter how many lonely nights

I can't get you off my mind

even after all this time

I still long for the girl I now hate

if only I could wish you away

I want you but I don't want you back.
