Wish I Could

I wish I could bite my tongue

Fall asleep, no damage done

Keep the peace in the dark

I wish I could, but I know I can't

Next to you the light stays on

Next to you, but miles apart

Oh, to break the spell of a lonely heart

I wish I could, but I know I can't

Oh, I wish that we were still lovers

I wish that we were still friends

I know I messed up at the finish

I need to get back to the start

Well, I wish I could, but I know I can't

So shut me out if you must

I turn away, you turn to dust

I'd fight for us, hold that remark

I wish I could, but I know I can't

Oh, I wish that we were still lovers

(Whoa-oh-oh)

I wish that we were still friends

(Whoa-oh-oh)

I know I messed up at the finish

I need to get back to the start

Well, I wish I could, but I know I can't

Hoo-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Hoo-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Each of us has a heart to answer for

I wish I could, but I know I can't

Well, I wish that we were still lovers

(Whoa-oh-oh)

I wish that we were still friends

(Whoa-oh-oh)

I know I messed up at the finish

I need to get back to the start

Oh, I wish I could

Oh, I wish I could

Oh, I wish I could

Oh, I wish I could

Oh, I wish I could, but I know I can't

Well, I wish I could, but I know I can't
