i wish i knew better now

there was a time I was so adored
and I never meant to hurt anyone
there were people who knew my heart
where all there is is love and fun
there were people I trusted unconditionally
and people who trusted me
but I wanted too much and they’re gone
I pushed them away with my carrying on
cuz the first lesson I learn in life
was that people do not stick around
abandonment became
a self-fulfilled prophesy
and now my heart beat is a lonely sound

I wish I knew better back then
before I pushed away all my friends
I wish I didn’t test how much they loved me
just to prove everybody pretends
I wish I knew how to compromise
before I gave into all the lies
I wish I didn’t push everybody away
just to prove no one would stay

doesn’t anybody understand
I will die for love
and I have more than once in this life

won’t somebody hold my hand
to live for love
where is my long lost wife

I sit awake alone at night
writing these songs
dreaming of loving once again

do I hold on too tight
do I let go too fast
I wish I knew better now
than I did then

now I wonder did you ever feel as loved
as when you let me love you
was it too much or not enough
will I ever know what is true

now I wonder if you ever believe i
would love you beyond the day I die
here I am in a place with no time
still loving you – that is my crime

doesn’t anybody understand
I will die for love
and I have more than once in this life

won’t somebody hold my hand
to live for love
where is my long lost wife

I sit awake alone at night
writing these songs
dreaming of loving once again

do I hold on too tight
do I let go too fast
I wish I knew better now
than I did then
