The Kid You Wish I Was

[Verse 1]
How much time did I spend
Wondering if you'd bend
My way, I hoped
That you would love me with no regret
Time was still, I was breathless
Your words won't pause they're endless
I can't fall asleep
I feel so restless

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't change
I'm not changing
This is strange
This distant feeling

[Chorus]
I know I can't be
The son that you need
I'm trying and trying
To be my best please
These thoughts consume me
I know your thinking
What would I be if
I were the kid you wish I was

[Verse 2]
I need your validation
It bleeds my concentration
As time goes by
I remember things won't get еasier

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't change (I can't change)
I'm not changing (I'm not changing)
This is strangе (strange)
This distant feeling (distant feeling)

[Chorus]
I know I can't be
The son that you need
I'm trying and trying
To be my best please
These thoughts consume me
I know your thinking
What would I be if
I were the kid you wish I was

[Outro]
As times goes, I see
I know I can't be
That kid, the kid you wish I was
