I wish I was a reader
And I wish I was
The kind of daughter
That calls her mom
With stupid questions
Or anything at all
And I wish that I was smaller
Or I wish I was
Better at being kind
To the one body that I’ve got
After all it keeps me breathing
Till the day it just cannot
I wish I didn’t
Feel like a burden
All the time
Wish I was certain
I wanna live this kind of life
I wish I didn’t linger
On every thought
Reshaping every moment
To the point of losing touch
Wish I was in my body
‘Stead of hovering above
And I wish that I was harder
And I wish I was
Less of a feeler
So it wouldn’t hurt so much
But I offer all my pillows
And I give my bed to lay
I’m a shoulder for a cry
Until the tears melt me away
I wish I didn’t
Feel like a burden
All the time
Wish I was certain
I wanna live this kind of life
I wish that I was smarter
And I wish I could
Communicate a thought
Without being misunderstood
But it’s better keeping quiet
Yea it’s easy staying put
And I wish I didn’t cater
When I know I should
Stop begging for forgiveness
And start putting down my foot
I’m just used to people pleasing
Yea I’ve gotten way too good
I think I’ve become the person
That I said I never would
I wish I didn’t
Feel like a burden
All the time
Wish I was certain
I wanna live this kind of life
I wish I didn’t
Feel like a burden
I wish I wasn’t
So scared of something
I wish these wishes
Weren’t all for nothing
All the time
