What I Wish I Said To You

by Isaac Paredes

Just like the stars, people have left, but I still see them In my scars Just like the stars My loved ones are around me But feel so far

Show me what love is Make the world new and the sun dim Show me what it’s like to love again In return, I’ll lend you my future The blossoming rose making time blur In winter and summer, the flame will always burn Cause deep down inside It was always you to return

Love feels like the one thing I cannot get That’s the one thing that seems to tease me Seems to always be just out of my grasp Love The reason I keep going The reason I keep trying The reason for my bleeding Love What makes this pain worthwhile What gives me hope and breaks me all the same

The world doesn’t need fixing You do

You cry You hate the skin you’re in Too scared to look in the mirror As you burn your lungs away
