Wish I Could

I wish I could bite my tongue
Fall asleep no damage done
Keep the peace in the dark
I wish I could but I know I can't

Next to you the light stays on
Next to you but miles apart
Oh to break the spell of a lonely heart
I wish i could but I know i can't

Oh I wish that we were still lovers
I wish that we were still friends
I know I messed up at the finish
I need to get back to the start
Well, I wish I could but I know I can't

So shut me out if you must
I turn away, you turn to dust
I'd fight for us, hold that remark
I wish I could but I know I can't

Oh, I wish that we were still lovers (Whoa-oh-oh)
I wish that we were still friends (Whoa-oh-oh)
I know I messed up at the finish, I need to get back to the start
Well, I wish I could, but I know I can't
Hooh-ooh ooh, ooh-ooh ooh
Hooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Each of us has a heart to answer for
I wish I could, but I know I can't
Well I wish that we were still lovers (Whoa-oh-oh
I wish that we were still friends (Whoa-oh-oh)
I know I messed up at the finish, I need to get back to the start

Oh, I wish I could, oh, I wish I could
Oh, I wish I could, oh, I wish I could
Oh, I wish I could, but I know I can't
Well, I wish I could, but I know I can't
