I Wish
Divine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried to get you out of my head

But the more that I tried

You're back in my mind again

I must admit that I only got regrets
Since you walked out on me

Took my life my love and my happiness

I'll always be thinking of you

Wondering if you ever think of me too

How I hope and I pray that someday

I'll hold you in my arms again

1 I wish that I had you in my arms again baby

I'll hold you so tightly boy I can't pretend

That I don't love you, don't need you

The pain never ends

Who's gonna love me like you do

When nights are cold I can't help but shed a tear

When I recall all those precious memories we shared

You'd hold my hand and make me feel so safe and warm

I'll tried to move on

But you still have my heart and my soul

I'll always be thinking of you

Wondering if you ever think of me, too

How I hope and I pray that someday

I'll hold you in my arms again

Repeat 1

There will never be another you

You have changed my very existence as it were

Don't you know I love you more

I love you more, love you more

Than you'll never know





Repeat 1 until fade
