The place where I was free
I wish you could see
Me when I was happy
I think you would have liked me
I wish you could live
The times I wasn't as pensive
I wish you could live
The day I had nothing to forgive
I think you would have liked me
I wish you had known me,
Before life drained me,
I wish I had known you,
Before I lost faith in people.
You would have liked me.
I wish you could have laughed
With me, till the day faded
Seen how carefree I was
Before darkness took over
You would have liked me
I wish you could have heard,
The music in my heart,
Felt the way I loved,
Before it was wrenched out of me
I think would have liked me
I wish you could know that girl
Who was once brave and beautiful
That girl who didn't know of malice or jealousy
Or pain, evil or life's cruelty
I think, that girl would have blown you away.
I wish she could have known you,
Seen the love in your eyes,
The kindness in your heart,
And the hope in your smile
I know she'd have fallen in love with you a million times over.
I wish you could understand
When people fail you so much,
When life disappoints you to no end,
How it could break a heart beyond repair.
