The Wrong Direction
I wish you knew
With my heart breaking on the inside
The smile still on the outside
You say you know
But I know you don’t
Not in the way I know
I see you looking at her
But you don’t see me watching after you
I know you better than anyone
So why don’t you know?
My heart is yours unconditionally
I’m reaching out, trying to get to you
But you’re always just out of reach
The tears are coming down
But you’re already walking in the wrong direction
I’m always there for you
And you are there for me
But not in the way I want
I think about telling you
And then change my mind
Knowing it could ruin everything
I’m reaching out, trying to get to you
But you’re always just out of reach
The tears are coming down
But you’re already headed in the wrong direction
I wish I had the strength to tell you
That you’re all I need
I could be the best for you
If you weren’t headed in the wrong direction
The way your hand fits perfectly with mine
The way your embrace is where I want to be
I thought I knew where this was supposed to go
But now I don’t know…
I’m tired of reaching out, trying to get something that’s never there
The tears are coming down
I know you’ll always be headed in the wrong direction
You might still be all I need, but I’m learning to live without you
I’ll miss what might have been, even though now I know
I was headed in the wrong direction
I wish you’d known…
