I Wish You Were Here

[Verse 1] I wish you were here I won’t make it long Maybe it’s sad to say But no, I don’t belong I’ve got the gift in my hands Still I feel it slip through Every room feels too big When it’s only me and you [Pre-Chorus] And I try to be strong I try to stand tall But the silence gets loud When I give you my all Maybe I’ve got the gold Maybe I’ve got the grace Still I’m empty in the middle When you’re out of place [Chorus] I wish you were here I wish you were here I need your love tonight I need your love tonight I got heaven in my hands But it don’t feel right I’m empty without you I’m empty tonight [Verse 2] I wear a brave face well Like nothing can break But the truth cuts deep In the hours I wait I’ve been blessed, I know it I’ve been touched by light Yet it all turns to dust When I sleep alone at night [Pre-Chorus] And I try to be strong I try to stand tall But the silence gets loud When I give you my all Maybe I’ve got the gold Maybe I’ve got the grace Still I’m empty in the middle When you’re out of place [Chorus] I wish you were here I wish you were here I need your love tonight I need your love tonight I got heaven in my hands But it don’t feel right I’m empty without you I’m empty tonight [Bridge] If you could see me now You’d know what I hide All these shining pieces And a hole inside Come back to my arms Let me feel that flame I can have the whole world Still call out your name [Chorus] I wish you were here I wish you were here I need your love tonight I need your love tonight I got heaven in my hands But it don’t feel right I’m empty without you I’m empty tonight
