I Wish
Kumbia Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spoken:
Baby girl I was just sittin here thinkin'
Bout all the times that we shared together
Wishing that things could be different
But now I'm sitting here all alone,
And wishing is all I have,
Listen.
I wish that I could take away the pain,
I wish we didn't have to play these games,
I wish the love we had would've never ever changed,
I wish that I could turn my back and walk away,
Just walk away.

CHORUS:
I wish that I could tell my eyes to stop crying,
I wish that you would tell your friends to stop lying,
I gave you everything a man could give a woman,
Like 50 cars and diamond rings and all the things that money brings,
My time my heart my soul...
How could you be so blind?
I wish I wish,
I didn't feel this emptyness,
And I wish I wish,
It didn't have to end like this,
I wish that you and I would be a family,
But wishing is all I have.

I wish that I could turn the hands of time,
I wish you knew the things you put me through,
I wish that you would just pick up the phone,
And I wish that I could take away the things I said.

(chorus)





Spoken:
I wish I didn't have to replace you with someone else.
