Lyrics

I Wish

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I never called you and now it's too late

To say all the words that I've wanted to say

The doctor said: Oh, there's a fight up ahead

I should've been there by your hospital bed

So it rains every day, oh, it rains every day

No, I haven't got the words to say

How I wish I was a better friend

Before it was too late

I wish that I would've been there in the end

I wish I was a better friend

I wasn't there when you said your goodbye and I

Replay in my mind 'bout a thousand times

I wasn't there for those rivers you cried

I was always too busy, no, I didn't make the time

So it rains every day, oh, it rains every day

I haven't got the words to say

How I wish I was a better friend

Before it was too late

I wish that I would've been there in the end

I wish I was a better friend

And every day, I wish you were here

Oh, every day I wish

Oh, every minute of every year

I swear I feel you near

Near me

How I wish I was (how I wish) a better friend (better friend)

Before it was too late

I wish that I would've been there in the end

I wish I was a better friend
