Wish I Was

If I could help it
If I would have known
Your dark skin glistens proud in the sun
Then you walk away, walk away, walk away
and I am left with none
I sit around and wait and I don't know why
You sit around and wait for me to die
Last night I jumped right out of my skin in my bed
Bless you child for you don't know what you did
Just when I thought my heart had the time to mend
You go and steal it right off my sleeve like a trend
Go back to him
Run back to the one you love
I am not him but sometimes I wish I was
I wish I was
I wake up, I wanna go back to sleep in my bed
'Cause I hear echoing words in my ear, I don't understand
I can't so I try to enjoy the sun
How can I stand here with you and not be touched
I am leaving I am leaving
It's funny how you wanted to
I am leaving I am leaving
I wanna say goodbye to you
Goodbye
