[VERSE 1] I heard you saw that picture late last night Yeah, I was smiling underneath those lights Her hand was wrapped around my waist And for once, I didn’t have to fake I won’t pretend I don’t remember you Or all the hell that we went through There was a time I’d hear your name And would’ve thrown it all away But time did what I couldn’t do It taught my heart to live without you [PRE-CHORUS] And if you’re wondering if I think of you Sometimes I do… But that don’t mean I still belong to you [CHORUS] If you wish I was with you tonight I hope you know I once wished that too I begged for us a thousand times While I was still lying next to you But she’s the one who holds me now She loves the parts you left bruised So if you’re somewhere wishing for me I’m sorry, I can’t wish for you I finally found the kind of love I used to beg to find with you [VERSE 2] I still drive by those same old roads Some memories don’t ever really go Yeah, certain songs can take me back But I don’t wanna live inside the past You say you’d never break her heart Just to pull me from her arms And I’m glad, ‘cause she don’t deserve To feel the way we made love hurt I don’t hate you, never could But missing us don’t make us good [PRE-CHORUS] Maybe that’s the hardest truth— I can forgive And still not come back to you [CHORUS] If you wish I was with you tonight I hope you know I once wished that too I begged for us a thousand times While I was still lying next to you But she’s the one who holds me now She loves the parts you left bruised So if you’re somewhere wishing for me I’m sorry, I can’t wish for you I finally found the kind of love I used to beg to find with you [BRIDGE — STRIPPED / RAW] Maybe in another life We would’ve gotten it right Maybe we’d have loved each other Before we learned how to fight But I can’t trade what I have now For what we couldn’t save Some people stay inside your heart Without belonging in your days [FINAL CHORUS — EMOTIONAL LIFT] If you wish I was with you tonight Just know a part of me understands There was a time I’d have crossed the world Just to feel you reach for my hand But I’m where I’m supposed to be And she’s where she belongs You were a chapter of my life But you aren’t where my story stops So if wishing could make dreams come true Don’t waste another wish on me Wish yourself somebody Who’ll love you better Than we ever knew how to be [OUTRO — PIANO / NEAR WHISPER] I’ll always remember you… But remembering you ain’t the same as wanting you back.
