I Wish I Was (Live from SXSW 2016) Lyrics

On paper we go together
I know that we look the part
But almost never hangs on forever
I know I'm breaking your heartSo go on, say what you want to
I'm not gonna stop you
You can blame it all on meI'm not the hero in the story
I'm not the girl that gets the glory
'Cause you're looking for true love
And I'm not the one
But I wish, but I wish I wasHmm, I wish, oh I wish I was
Hmm
Wish I could feel about you
The way you feel about me
But you can't make a heart say something
That it don't believeSo go on, hate me if you have to
I hate myself too
'Cause as much as I want to beI'm not the hero in the story
I'm not the girl that gets the glory

'Cause you're looking for true love
And I'm not the one
But I wish, but I wish I wasHmm, I wish, oh I wish I was
Go on, hate me if you have to
I still care about you
Hmm as much as I want to beI'm not the hero in the story
I'm not the girl that gets the glory
'Cause you're looking for true love
And I'm not the one
But I wish, but I wish I wasOh, 'cause you're looking for true love
And I'm not the one
But I wish, but I wish I was
Hmm, I wish, oh I wish I was
Hoo, hmm
Oh oh oh
