What I Wish I Said To You

by Isaac Paredes

It’s on nights like these Where I look to the stars to find my peace

It’s on nights like these Where I feel like I’m completely at ease Knowing there’s no one left to hurt me

I’m sorry...I forget myself sometimes I know you wouldn’t mind Cause my head doesn’t always work right But your head works just like mine

My heart, trapped in a cage For the hope that one day I’m allowed to say your name

Maybe you think I’m better, That past the yelling and anger, You see my tears and fears too Maybe you know I’m most afraid of losing you

It’s not your fault For thinking you’re not enough But take a moment to look in the mirror And see the angel from up above

See the girl who deserves it all But wants nothing more Then love and someone to call

So take my hand through the next door I’ll gladly break my heart To fix yours

You’d wonder why I’d want to throw it all away But I wouldn’t, not after all I’ve bled Cause deep down we all know Something’s gotta give I just don’t know what yet...

I want to write you But a part of me just can’t write anymore Constantly barking up the same tree I’m slowly growing tired of being me

It’d be okay to just live in the moment As time stands still Hand in hand, we lose our minds and say It’s finally okay

Face the demons hanging around Make a few friends, learn to not drown. Take it from someone who’s felt the dark Dropped in a void, made my own spark Take it from someone on the outside You never know how lucky you are Until time says goodbye
