wish you said you liked me

[Intro – Soft Whispery Harmony] la la, la-la-la… i wish you said you liked me… oh-oh, oh no… mmm-mm… ⸻ [Verse 1] you called me late, said “just to talk” (uh-huh, okay…) i said “i’m fine”, but checked the clock (did you mean it…?) you laugh at things i barely say i play it cool, but fade away (why’d you make it feel… real?) [Pre-Chorus – Idol-style layering begins] i try to smile when you’re around but it’s too loud, i hear no sound (oh no… oh no…) i wrote a song with your old name deleted once, but still remains ⸻ [Chorus – Full Idol Harmony + Ad-libs] 🌸 wish you said you liked me then (then~) i wouldn’t hide behind pretend (pretend~) 🌸 wish you let me hold your hand (your hand~) and not just walk behind your friends (behind your friends~) 🌸 wish you saw me like a light shining soft but burning bright i’d stay, i’d stay… (i’d stay…) but you fade, every night (you fade~ every night~) [Post-Chorus – Breath harmonies & layered lines] you fade in dreams… you fade in dreams… (you fade away~~…) like cotton clouds and movie scenes… (i still believe~~…) ⸻ [Verse 2] we took the train, you sat too far (oh, just two seats…) i watched you sketch inside your heart (on paper planes…) i wanted to say “you’re my star” but fear makes silence louder by far (you never asked… but i wished you had) [Pre-Chorus – Bigger Build-up] and every lyric that i write is just a version of that night (you, in the glow… moonlight so low…) i watched your shadow move from mine like pages turning out of time ⸻ [Chorus – with stronger Ad-libs + Echo harmony] 🌸 wish you said you liked me then (say it now~) i’d never fake a smile again (smile again~) 🌸 wish you held me through the rain (through the rain~) not left me standing in the pain (left again~) 🌸 wish you saw me like a light not a ghost in blinking night i’d stay, i’d stay… (stay, stay~) but you fade, every time ⸻ [Bridge – Vocal run / airy soft echo] i danced alone in empty halls (wish you knew…) your name still echoes off the walls (you never do…) this crush was sugar, now it’s salt (but it’s my fault…) you never saw me fall… (i fall— for you…) ⸻ [Final Chorus – Idol Anthem Mode, high key, full harmony, dreamy + echo fx] 🌸 wish you said you liked me first (first~) before i gave you all my verse (my verse~) 🌸 wish you turned and looked at me (at me~) like maybe we were meant to be (to be~) 🌸 wish i wasn’t just a song in your playlist all along i’d stay, i’d stay… (stay~ stay…) but you fade… and i’m gone… ⸻ [Outro – Whispery ad-lib / Vocal layers drifting away] la la… i’m gone… la la-la… you fade… (you fade~ you fade~) i wish you said you liked me…
