I Wish

I wish I could a be a cookie cutter version of you,

Always happy, always kicking dust in others' eyes.

I wish these scars on my arms disappeared

And I erased every last little trace of you.

I can see you in my dreams and I can smell you in my sleep

And it doesn't fit with this new version of me.

I wish I couldn't taste your lips

When I wake from a dream in which you were in

And I wish I stopped thinking

About what could have been.

I wish the scars on your back healed up,

And the bite marks in your neck disappeared...
I wish you never knew the scent of my perfume

And I wish you didn't remember my address book

Because you're just a heartbreaker, and I knew from day one

You'd destroy me and all I have done,

For I understood you, and I knew your plan,

I fell like a sucker inside this dreamland...

Its time to wake up, little sucker,

Time to grow up...

I wish I was perfect, I wish I had been at your side,

But despite my not being good enough for you,

There's someone else to wipe my tears,

Someone else to sleep in my bed...

What do you have next to you?
Empty Space.
