Woke up one morning
And forgot where you were
Even though breakfast still came
I wish it were You
Cordial conversation
Though my opinion reigned
Just didn’t seem right
I wish it were You
A kiss and smile
Before walking out the door
Like I knew it wasn’t goodbye
Oh, How I wish it were You
I think I miss all that mystery
That cold yet committed commentary
Without saying those special words
Damn, I wish it were You
Maybe I should have let you take me for granted
Maybe I should have looked at you the same way
Maybe I never would have found all that I was looking for
It’s just too bad, I wish it were You
Something was left behind
I’ll take claim to it
I shake myself when I see myself in all you didn’t do
You must be laughing, knowing how I wish it were you
Telling me, showing me, feeling me, hearing me just love
Somebody who wanted love and not needed love
Somebody who wanted to be wanted and not needed
By a many few
This sounds so much like you,
Still, I wish it were You
Until I don’t
‘til I stop wishing
That you would take off that mask
And just be you
