Wishful Thought - performed by Crystal Sanders

[Verse 1] Afraid of truth, I pushed back My selfish ways turned the world black I said I’d change, but never could I lost the ones who meant me good [Pre-Chorus] Thought silence would keep me safe But it only echoed my mistakes [Chorus] But hearts don’t heal on wishful thought It’s not enough to say ‘I’m not’ I need to show you who I am To make everything right again [Verse 2] I used to hide behind my pride Pretend I’m fine, let truth subside But masks don’t keep you warm at night They only steal your will to fight [Pre-Chorus] I let my silence do the talking But now I feel the silence mocking [Chorus] But hearts don’t heal on wishful thought It’s not enough to say ‘I’m not’ I need to show you who I am To make everything right again [Bridge] Did you mean to break me? Or did I just fall on my own? I built walls to save me Now I’m sick of being alone [Final Chorus] Hearts don’t heal on wishful thought But I’m done pretending I’m not I’ll show you who I’ve grown to be And let this truth finally set me free [Outro / Final Line] I can’t say I’ll fix it all… But now I can rise stronger whenever I fall.
