Analysis of I wish
Sonja Salinas 1988 (Alice)
i wish i never knew what it is to love this much
save me the pain of heartache
i wish i never saw u cube thru that door
having to realize this was all fake
i have u me wheel and pulled the clutch
and now it's in peices shattered on the floor.
i wish i never knew what it was too hurt this deep
to understand how a dying soul feels pain
to have the yearning feeling of wanting the final leap
i wish i would have known that this was the wrong lane.
