I Wish You Could

I wish you could know my pain,
All the things running through my brain.
I think about all that we had,
Just thinking makes me so damn sad.

I wish you could see the truth of it all,
See the things that led to this fall.
See the other side
And know why it is that I hide.

I wish you could have kept me in
Rather than letting the outsider win.
I do know the irony in this verse,
If this were Uno you’d play the reverse.

I wish you could feel what I feel,
You’d know it was always real.
In the places I dared not show
In the dark the love always did grow.

I wish you could win large sums
And be ever ready for whatever comes.
I hope you never have to worry
Or to live your life in a hurry.

I wish you could forget it all
Your mind, an empty hall.
You’d be getting quite the deal …
Because you would never feel what I feel.
