Close your eyes squeeze them tight I wish I may, I wish I might Keep on repeating your little chant You might believe it but I just can't Wish me away, wish me away Keep talking louder that's what you do You're just shouting over you Trying to ignore the voice inside You couldn't be more like a child To wish me away, wish me away Won't wish, hope, and pray Wish me away We didn't have an easy time but whatever it was it was your's and mine it wasn't always perfect or fair You don't want it but it's still there How's it workin' for you so far? Do you feel better the longer we're apart? Oh baby love's not like nicotine You still see me, don't you, in your dreams Wish me away, wish me away Won't wish, hope, and pray Wish me away Wish me away, wish me away Won't wish, hope, and pray Wish me away
