During an acoustic set, Ryan Key states that the song is about him ‘being on a quest for a girl he can’t have’. The song references the mistakes and regrets he has following the break-down of the relationship, and how he would do things differently given the opportunity.
[Verse 1]
I want to love
I want to leave
I want you to love me
I want you to leave me
I want to stand where I can see
I'm watching you love me
I'm watching you leaving me now
[Chorus]
I wish I could be somebody else
I wish I could see you in myself
I wish there was something inside me
To keep you beside me
And say what you really feel
You know I need something that's real
I wish there was something inside me
To keep you beside me
[Verse 2]
I want to know if I could be
Someone to turn to
That could never hurt you
But I know what you think of me
Yeah, you had a breakthrough
And now, I'm just bad news for you
[Chorus]
I wish I could be somebody else
I wish I could see you in myself
I wish there was something inside me
To keep you beside me
And say what you really feel
You know I need something that's real
I wish there was something inside me
To keep you beside me
[Bridge]
I should have told you everything
I never gave you anything
I should have told you everything
If I could give you anything
Then I would tell you everything
[Chorus]
I wish I could be somebody else
I wish I could see you in myself
I wish there was something inside me
To keep you beside me
And say what you really feel
You know I need something that's real
I wish there was something inside me
To keep you beside me
[Outro]
I should have told you everything
I should have told you everything
I should have told you everything
