I Wish
WHITE-LIPS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm home alone again
And you're out hangin' with your friends
So you say
Somehow I know it's not quite that way

It's getting pretty late
And you haven't checked on me all day
When I called you didn't answer
Now I'm feelin' like you're ignorin' me

I wish that you were home
Holdin' me tight in your arms
And I wish I could go back
To the day before we met
And skip my regret

I wish I wasn't in love with you
So you couldn't hurt me
It just ain't fair the way you treat me
No, you don't deserve me

Wasted my time thinkin' 'bout you
And you ain't never gon' change
I wish I wasn't in love with you
So I wouldn't feel this way

When you touch me my heart melts
(And anything you did wrong I forgive) Yeah, yeah
So you play me and take advantage
Of the love that I feel for you

Why you wanna hurt me so bad
I believed in you that's why I'm so mad
Now I'm drowning in disappointment
And it's hard for me to even look at you

I wish that you were home, oh, yes, I do
Holdin' me tight in your arms, ooh, baby
And I wish I could go back
To the day before we met
And skip my regret

I wish I wasn't in love with you
So you couldn't hurt me (I don't wanna hurt no more)
It just ain't fair (It just ain't fair, no) the way
you treat me
No, you don't desert me (You, you)

Wasted my time thinkin' 'bout you
And you ain't never gon' change (You ain't never gonna
change)
I wish I wasn't (I wasn't in love) in love with you
So I wouldn't feel this way (I wouldn't feel this way)

Said you care about me, but from what I see
I ain't feelin' that, so I disagree
Gave you all my love and understanding
And you treated me like your enemy

So leave me alone, don't bother to follow me
Now just go back where you came from
This house is no longer your home
You are not welcome no, no, no more, no more

I wish I wasn't in love with you
So you couldn't hurt me (You couldn't hurt me, baby)
It just ain't fair (It just ain't fair) the way you
treat me (The way you treat me)
No, you don't deserve me (You don't deserve me, baby)

Wasted my time (Oh, oh) thinkin' 'bout you
(Thinkin' about you)
And you ain't never gon' change (You're never gonna
change, never gonna change)
I wish I wasn't in love with you
So I wouldn't feel this way

I wish I wasn't in love with you
So you couldn't hurt me (You couldn't hurt me this
bad)
It just ain't fair (It ain't fair) the way you treat me
(No, it ain't fair)
No, you don't deserve me (You don't deserve me, my
love)

Wasted my time (Ooh) thinkin' 'bout you (Thinkin'
about you)
And you ain't never gon' change (You ain't gonna never
change)
I wish I wasn't (Wasn't) in love with you (In love
with you)
So I wouldn't feel this way

Hear you knockin' at the door again
I'm wonderin' should I let you in
I open up the door and see
The flowers for me, so beautiful in your hand
You start beggin' me to take you back
I've always been a sucker for romance
And before you know it I could see it, you're all over
me
Oh, no, here I go again





I wish I wasn't in love with you
So you couldn't hurt me

one of my fav ending themes of a visual novel.i love this song

AP XX

色とりどりの紙を

選んで短冊を作り

一途に言葉を綴ってゆく

横から覗き込む僕に

君は苦笑いを浮かべ

照れくさそうに隠した

「夜は晴れるかな?」

夜空の恋人(ふたり)に重ねた台詞

ラジオから流れる天気予報は

雨のち晴れ

願って 願って 空へ手をのばす

過ちも後悔も

君と出会うための礎(いしずえ)

すべてを受け入れ その先を目指そう

確かな想いで

迷ったことはたくさん

間違えも数えきれない

こぼした涙も一つじゃない

それでも星は東からのぼり

西へ沈むように

明日へ進んでいくだけ

「今年も雨かな」

厚い雲はまるで心の壁だけど

いつかはほらきれいな空に出会える

愛して愛して 君を抱きしめる

息づかい 胸の鼓動(おと) 

満たされてく 気持ち

離しはしないと 

キスを何度も重ねながら 誓った

午前零時を過ぎた頃 

雲間に星が見えてきて

持ち望んだ逢瀬 

ミルキーウェイにカササギが飛ぶ

例えばふたりの間に大きな

川が流れ言葉さえ届かなくなっても

出会った過去を悔やんだり泣いたりしないで

絆を信じて

願って願って 空へ手をのばす

守りたい その笑顔 

曇らせないように

無くした昨日より明日を求めて

二人で旅路を紡ごう

秋竹城

助かる

北浜七奈

"午前0時"のところから"鵲が飛ぶ"のところが特に好き

うみもり

アウトロのギターソロかっこいい

バーボン

なんだただの神か
