Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish you well
I wish you knew
Just how much I think of you
I hope it's good
She's treating you great
Like you should be treated, babe

I wish you well
I wish you well
I wanna know why
It wasn't I

I wish you well
I wish you well
I wanna know why
It wasn't I

I wish you well
You know I do
You know I'll always
Dream of you
I hope you're good
She's treating you great
Like you should be treated, babe

I wish you well
I wish you well
I wanna know why
It wasn't I

I wish you well
I wish you well
