I wish


Ooh I wish I could disappear (but I can’t)

I wish I wasn't such a problem (but I am)

I wish I could tell someone something’s wrong

But I can’t

But I could never

I Can’t get better or worse

I’ll never be anything (anything)

What am I fighting for?

Why do I give a f*ck

My lifes’ goin’ to sh*t

I don’t care if I burn in h*ll

 

I could call it quits now (but I can’t)

Ooh I wish I could f*cking disappear forever (but I can’t)

I wish I wasn't such a problem (but I am)

I wish I could tell someone something’s wrong

But I can’t

Where is everyone?

They said they’d help

Guess I’ll be alone with my thoughts (again)

 

What happened to the good ol’ days?

We were young, happy and supposed to be safe

What happened?

Who am I?

Why am I writing songs instead of asking for help?

What happened?

Who am I?

 

Ooh I wish I could disappear forever (but I can’t)

I wish I wasn't always such a problem (but I am)

I wish I could tell someone something’s wrong

But I can’t

But I couldn’t tell them

 

What a shame all the knives are dull 

I can’t cut open this plastic bubble I’m trapped in 

I see everyone living their lives

But I’m trapped inside this shell

 

I can’t cry cause I’m broken inside

I played with fire and got burned (too much)

One too many times

Ohh I don’t give a d*mn bout’ livin’ here

You can shoot me on the spot

(target acquired)

BOOM

What happened?

Who am I?
