all you want to see is make believe

i wish i didn't wait for your call.
i wish i didn't want to see your smile.
i wish i could just give it all
instead of wishing i was more worthwhile.

if i could, i would walk away
without a second glance
but i can't.

i wish i was stronger than i am
i wish i wasn't me
i wish i could be better than
all you seem to see

if i could, i would turn away
without a second glance
but i can't.

if wishes could be horses
i'd own a ranch
then i could live in my own world
instead of thinking
instead of dreaming
instead of missing
all that i can't have.

if i could, i would go away
if i could, i would run away
if i could, i'd do it all
without a second glance

but i can't.
