Someone U Wanted

Your own tears made you hate yourself

But you couldn't take it out on no one else

So you lashed out when it got too heavy

And blamed it on me like I was too depressing

It didn't play out like you thought it would

But you won't admit it 'cause you know it's selfish

And it's just like you to be so damn pretentious

But sometimes I wish that I'd been

A little bit taller, a lot more forgiving

Little bit stronger, financially driven

Somewhat less awkward in front of your friends

Even if that means I'm changing myself

Way less judgmental and more understanding

Paid more for dinners and paid more attention

Spoke up in silence to lessen the tension

Whatever might help

I wish I could be there

'Cause now I'm just right here

Thinking 'bout all the parts of me

I wish I could change that easily

I wish I could be there

'Cause now I sit right here

Asking you how, asking you why

I wish that I was someone you wanted

Someone you wanted

The faded paint where we used to hang our memories

Had to take 'em down, they just left me empty

If you came around, I would still act normal

Even though I wish that I could take you with me

Smile, wave, and laugh every time you say goodbye

But in my head, I'm cussing you out

I never should've loved you out loud

'Cause sometimes I wish that I'd been

A little bit taller, a lot more forgiving

Little bit stronger, financially driven

Somewhat less awkward in front of your friends

Even if that means I'm changing myself

Way less judgmental and more understanding

Paid more for dinners and paid more attention

Spoke up in silence to lessen the tension

Whatever might help

I wish I could be there

'Cause now I'm just right here

Thinking 'bout all the parts of me

I wish I could change that easily

I wish I could be there
