Lyrics
Verse 1
You tell me your troubles, pour out your heart,
I listen in silence, playing my part.
A friend in the shadows, I keep my place,
But your pains a mirror I cant erase.
Pre-Chorus
I know youre hurting, I see it clear,
Youre stuck in a cycle, bound by fear.
You chase whats wrong, but cant you see?
The one whos waiting is right hereme.
Chorus
I wish it was me, oh, I wish you could see,
The love that I carry, burning deep in me.
I hear you, I see you, Im here through the pain,
If youd take my hand, youd never feel the same.
Oh, I wish it was me.
Verse 2
You talk of a lover who leaves you cold,
Unseen, unheard, like a story untold.
But Im right beside you, steady and true,
With a heart thats breaking for the real you.
Pre-Chorus
Its ironic, isnt it? All that you need,
Is closer than ever, within arms reach.
Im not made of riches, but loves my wealth,
Id give you my all to see you find yourself.
Chorus
I wish it was me, oh, I wish you could see,
The love that I carry, burning deep in me.
I hear you, I see you, Im here through the pain,
If youd take my hand, youd never feel the same.
Oh, I wish it was me.
Bridge
Im broken, Im flawed, Ive failed in my ways,
But Id fight for your heart through the darkest of days.
Its maddening, darling, you dont even look,
When Id drop my whole world for the chance that you took. Chorus
I wish it was me, oh, I wish you could see,
The love that I carry, burning deep in me.
I hear you, I see you, Im here through the pain,
If youd take my hand, youd never feel the same.
Oh, I wish it was me.
Outro
You should know by now where you sit in my heart,
Ill wait in the silence, though it tears me apart.
I hear you, I see you, Ill always believe,
That one day youll see its me you should need.
Oh, I wish it was me.
