Wish I Told You

Days like this I wish I told you Differences we seem to have had

And to be honest I would never flaunt it Singing symphonies, a song to the things you
never wanted The wrong attention, false intentions, a pale
complexion of death Living to regret the aftereffects, addiction to sex

Placing the bets so you can figure the rest
I got the nerve to be upset, it's the pride to be correct
Just smoking mirrors, I'm too blind to reflect Play by play, X and O's, now they're next
to go Rolling troll, lost and slow, talking slow

So you can hear it Stay coherent, made appearance in this dream
state So I'm feeling elate, winning sweepstakes
Spending mixtapes till tomorrow and the next day
Fighting till the replay, begging please stay
Together in this stormy weather before we sever Limbs at the entrance, holding on to just
an essence Them hollow shells, and if all else fails
I'll let that phantom cast her spell She burns a bridge and lights it well
Yet the trail remains cold, enticing like it's paved in gold

I hate to say it, but you got me sold
Days like this I wish I told you Differences we seem to have had
Changes here and there, overwhelming scare Ripples in the water, I would stare
Locked up in this lair, take me to a paradise that's not there

Fulfilling, just chilling, you look to the ceiling You could collapse
The line is thin, bittersweet, I had to lose to win
And conquer these demons within, insecurities infringe
The doors are closing, you can hear the squeak of the hinge

Just to drink and not binge, on reruns and flicks
Leaving it all to risk, once in a while there's an eclipse
That's the moment you miss, cause you squander it
Stuck and ponder it, instead of seizing the moment

And keeping it going, pick your head up If you're damn well fed up
Instead of blaming everyone like it's a setup Gunning you down to the wire
Pulling teeth from the liar, when the truth is desire
Heating emotion, leaving me open To wishing and hoping

Instead of listening and focused Now the days are gone like hocus pocus
Before you even notice
You reminisce too much You read into it
It eats you up inside Damn near consumes you

When you should've said it from day one Days like this I

Wish I told you Differences we
Didn't seem to have had
