Wishing For a Life I Don'T Have

I wish my life was carefree, I wish I could live in a tree I wish I knew where my happiness is hiding I wish my eyes could restore their color, I wish I didn't look pale I wish my heart could be on track I wish my mind wasn't filled with all these thoughts I wish my hand wasn't in pain but I don't take back the action that caused the end result I wish I could run away but I don't have the strength I wish I could be a star in the sky but I'll settle for less and stay human I wish I wasn't reckless, I wish I lived restrictions I wish I could fly I wish I could just be me but life forbids I wish my name was known but I'd rather be left alone I wish my life was a song 'cause the lyrics come so easily and I could make it last for hours and hours but I'll settle for five minutes to sit to think to stare at the sky to get lost in the wind to drown in my sorrow to sort through my happiness to complain about the time I wasted to get the feeling back in my hand to sing along to a sad song to cover my face with my hands to wish my life was carefree so I could bury the hole in me but if wishing were worth more than wishing I'd probably grow up...
