Ran into a friend, they said your name
Laughed it off like it was a game
Said, “I’m good, it’s all in the past”
But something burned I didn’t grasp
Thought I let it go, thought I forgave
But deep inside, I felt a wave
Not of love, not even pain
Just something sharp I can’t explain
Sometimes I wish you’d hurt like me
Feel what it’s like to barely breathe
Sometimes I hope your nights go cold
And no one’s there for you to hold
I never meant to feel this hate
But healing came a little late
Sometimes I wish…
Yeah, I wish you’d break
You wore our love like it was light
But I carried it through every night
You said goodbye like flipping a switch
Left me bleeding in a ditch
I tried to stay the bigger one
Told myself, “Just move on”
But silence carved out deeper scars
And now I curse your shooting stars
Sometimes I wish you’d hurt like me
Feel what it’s like to beg for sleep
Sometimes I hope your heart won’t heal
That you forget how love should feel
It’s bitter, I know, it’s not who I am
But damn it, I’m only human, man
Sometimes I wish…
You’d understand
I don’t hate you, I just needed to
Say the things you never knew
If karma’s real, and time is fair
I hope you find me in the air
Sometimes I wish you’d hurt like me
Just once, just once… feel this empty
Sometimes I dream you say you’re sorry
But I wake alone in morning’s glory
I’m healing slow, and that’s okay
But sometimes I hope you feel this way
Sometimes I wish…
You’d break too someday
