The Things I Want, the Things I Get

Once upon a time I loved a girl but she didn’t love me back. Once upon a night I wished on a star but my dreams never came to pass. Twice I think I hoped for the sun and not the rain pouring in. But my cover flew away and the drops soaked through my skin. I think I could wish for hard times and the dark, And just to spite my soul the world would set ablaze from a single spark. My money would pile high, girls would wave as they walked by. And the one thing can I say for this life, Is no one ever got a damn thing from goodbye.
