Wish Letra

showed me to the best seats in the house
for My Fair Lady, the one the critics raved about
I learned the actors’ names

friends came back to our living room
you said that my smarts must have come from you

then the party was over
time for them to go, you and me alone
then the change came

Yelling curses
hurling dishes
turned my wish
cold and blue
sudden anger
bred constant fear
of what was hidden inside of you
I tried hard
not to upset
like any child
learning to survive
mama since the
day we met
I’ve tried to keep my wish alive

Bitter medicine to swallow
not only for the patient
but for the one who opens the bottle
but this illness is real
and spells you don’t recall
left wounds i still gotta heal
to stop the bleeding

If I rip the bandage off
expose it to the air
can it be the act of love
we’re needing

Yelling curses
hurling dishes
turned my wish
cold and blue
sudden anger
bred constant fear
of what was hidden inside of you
I tried hard
not to upset
like any child
learning to survive
mama since the
day we met
I’ve tried to keep my wish alive
