Your One Wish
Black Tape for a Blue Girl Lyrics
When I see you... I smile.
I still care for you. I cry.
When I think things go my way...
I have what I thought I wanted;
Yet I'm still sad for you.
Once you told me times would change...
Threw me to the brittle air;
But I still care for you.
I wish you could smile.
I wish you could smile.
I still care for you. I cry.
When I think things go my way...
I have what I thought I wanted;
Yet I'm still sad for you.
Once you told me times would change...
Threw me to the brittle air;
But I still care for you.
I wish you could smile.
I wish you could smile.

Lyrics please....
Jessica Hernandez
I love those buildings,
I love these streets,
I love the things you’re telling me
“I love your eyes, I love your words, I love every, everything”
don’t worry, don’t worry,
soon enough, you’ll have your one wish.
Sarch Lalaith
To my mind there are only two, I love you on fade, you're my one wish. A moment stretched out to feel the fullness of conviction in that emotion.
Maybe that's bs. Maybe that's just me, but that's what I think it is
A M
we love you sam.
