Nala Rose - I Wish Lyrics

For all of those times that your hand knocked me down

And all of the times you tried to break my smile

I just wanted your love but nowhere to be found

This is my recovery

And you've got nothin over me

But I love you


Growin up I never dreamed I'd have a life of pain

And my heart drops a million feet every time they say your name

And now all I can think is how things would've been

If you would've loved me and accept me

The way it should've been


I wish it wasn't like this

I with it didn't feel like this

I wish you didn't treat me like this

I wish I didn't have to wish

I wish it was more like this

I wish you could see it like this

I wish you would've loved me like this

I wish I didn't have to wish


Don't wanna say I don't love you

My life is just better without you

It's been a while since I've been here

Tried lovin you but nothin's changed

Said you wanted to It's been the same

Did you really think I'd never grow

Broke free now I'm movin on


Never thought I'd let it go

Gave me life then took my soul

Did you really think I'd never grow

Broke free now I'm moving on


Came back hoping you would know

How you hurt me hold me close

Shut my heart out treated me cold

Nothin I could do to gain your love


I just wanted love what's required of you

Suffered long enough

Now I'm bold enough to

Pack my bags and leave

Nothin holdin me

Now I've found my peace

On the road to recovery


I wish it wasn't like this

I with it didn't feel like this

I wish you didn't treat me like this

I wish I didn't have to wish

I wish it was more like this

I wish you could see it like this

I wish you would've loved me like this

I wish I didn't have to wish

I wish I didn't have to wish

I wish I didn't have to wish

No oh oh oh oh
