I Wish Lyrics

I wish we'd started at the very start
Had a little talk, maybe a little heart to heart
But we started over without thinking it through
Now you can't stand the sight of me
And I can't look at you

Now my bags are packed and my taxi's on its way
If you have an apology then now's the time to say
But you keep your mouth shut and yours eyes tight closed
While your tears they fall like petals from a rose

I know you're dying to open your mouth
Let the words I love you come rolling out
But I know you won't because you're stubborn as a mule
So say that you have stood your ground
But I think you're a fool to let me
Walk out the door without saying goodbye
You couldn't even turn around and look me in the eye

So, what I've got I'll take with me
What I don't need can stay
What I leave you can keep it
To remind me of our days

Went out with friends
Found some solace in my drink
I had a little time away
A little time to think about the
Things I'd done and how I'd made your feel
And how we were just turning on that endless spinning wheel
Our arguments and quarrels in the night
Oh I don't want to be that person
I don't want to fight

So, what I've got I'll take with me
What I don't need can stay
What I leave you can keep it
To remind me of our days

I wish we'd started at the very start
Had a little talk, maybe a little heart to heart
But we started over without thinking it through
Now you can't stand the sight of me
And I can't look at you
