Wishing It Was
[Intro]
Wishing it was

[Verse 1]
Beauty and grace is what touches me most
Good times can put me in fear
I always feel safe when things are bad
So I cannot let you come near

[Pre-Chorus]
It seems that I thrive on the dark side of things
I always feel alive when the death bell rings
Now you come and you bring out the tears in me

[Chorus]
Pain never makes me cry, but happiness does
It's so strange to watch your life walk by
Wishing it was
Wishing it was more like a fantasy
Where everyday surprises me
Wishing it was

[Post-Chorus]
Wishing it was
Wishing it was
[Verse 2]
This feeling won't last 'cause I cannot survive
I tell you I've been here before
When it's moving so fast
It's a matter of time
One of us walks out that door

[Pre-Chorus]
It seems that I thrive on the dark side of things
I always feel alive when the death bell rings
Now you come and you bring out the tears in me

[Chorus]
Pain never makes me cry, but happiness does
It's so strange to watch your life walk by
Wishing it was
Wishing it was more like a fantasy
Where everyday surprises me
Wishing it was

[Post-Chorus]
Wishing it was
Wishing it was

[Interlude]
Tell me now
Tell me now
Tell me now
Wishing it was
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Give this some thought
And I'm sure you will know
This is the way it must be
Emotions will rise, emotions will flow
You bring out the tears in me

[Chorus]
Pain never makes me cry, but happiness does
It's so strange to watch your life walk by
Wishing it was
Wishing it was more like a fantasy
Where everyday surprises me
Wishing it was

[Outro]
Wishing it was
Wishing it was
Wishing it was
Wishing it was
Wishing it was…
