I wish I was the only one in love
And I couldn’t hurt her
When I hurt myself
And let my will burn hot.
I wish I wasn the only one in love
I’d be my best for her
Try to win her over
Because she wasn’t mine.
I wish I was the only one in love
And I could disappear
And not be missing
And everything stay’s fine.
I wish I was the only one in love
And I didn’t matter
Weightless in the moments
That pass before I die.
I wish I was the only one in love
And I held no duty
No responsibility
To aEvery gift she never gave
I wish I was the only one in love
And I could smear myself
On the bricks of her walls
For all my days.
I wish I was the only one in love
And I could build up the nerve to tell her
And have her laugh it off
Over and over again.
I wish I was the only one in love
And I could try to kill those feelings
Bleach them in reason
And go look for the next.
I wish I was the only one in love
I wouldn’t be a coward
Because I wouldn’t have anything
But she’s in love.
She’s in love.
