I Wish You Knew

This is a very heartfelt and emotional song. The lyrics express a longing for someone who has left and the pain that comes with it. The protagonist wishes that the person they loved knew how much they meant to them and how they still think of them. The bridge expresses a feeling of betrayal and how the person has moved on, leaving the protagonist behind. The final chorus shows the protagonist moving on and letting go, accepting that it's their turn to forget. The lyrics are relatable and capture the emotions of someone going through a difficult breakup.

verse 1
this story begins on august 3rd
guitar on your back should’ve known i’d get hurt
i never imagined it could hurt this much

a simple hello made my heart glow
conversation starting to flow
was i supposed to know you’d let it all go?

pre chorus
and you told me all about your past
silly me thinking it would last
so many signs how i could not get attached?

chorus
oh i wish you knew
you’re stuck in my head
why can’t you see that
i love the way you laugh
how my heart beats so fast
every time you walk past
i want you bad
so bad

verse 2
i remember the nights when we used to text
laughing bout how mom used to suspect
that we were something more than friends

the way you remember little things since we met
my pink tin can how could i forget
i’ll say it again how could i not get attached?

pre chorus
but something made your heart go cold
you walked away as i fell for you more
i watched you fade like you were a ghost

chorus
oh i wish you knew
you’re stuck in my head
why can’t you see that
i love the way you laugh
how my heart beats so fast
every time you walk past
i want you bad
so bad

bridge
now it all makes sense
you found somebody else
i’ll be something you’ll forget
like an old book in your shelve
and i hope that one day
you think of me someday
and something inside you make you wish you had stayed
but it might a little too late
cause now i feel betrayed

final chorus
oh i wish you knew
you were stuck in my head
but you couldn’t see that
i used to love the way you laughed
now it’s all in the past
there’s no going back
it’s my turn to forget
my turn to forget
