Wish I Didn't Want to Leave

Late night talk I

Break the news that I'm leaving

No need to ask why

I watch the tears fall so freely from your eyes

While I can't cry

I wish it hurt a little more

Wish I didn't want to leave

Because I know it's hard for you

And a lot less hard for me

Wish I could shed a couple tears

And paint it bittersweet

Because I'll miss you everyday

But I won't miss everything

I wish I didn't want to leave

Feels like retreat

Got my tail between my knees

Needing safety (Safety)

Feels like losing

Giving up the ground under my feet

It's what, what I need

Talking about all these old and painful reminders

Therapy pulling parts of me from the fire

You said you wish that the circumstances were kinder

Well so do I

I wish it hurt a little more

Wish I didn't want to leave

Because I know it's hard for you

And a lot less hard for me

Wish I could shed a couple tears

And paint it bittersweet

Because I'll miss you everyday

But I won't miss everything

I wish I didn't want to leave

Talking about all these old and painful reminders

Therapy pulling parts of me from the fire

You said you wish that the circumstances were kinder

Well so do I

I wish it hurt a little more

Wish I didn't want to leave

Because I know it's hard for you

And a lot less hard for me

Wish I could shed a couple tears

And paint it bittersweet

Because I'll miss you everyday

But I won't miss everything

I wish I didn't want to leave
