123InDaPlaceToBe· - Wish You Knew lyrics

[Hook: Roxette] I know there's something in the wake of your smile I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah You've built a love, but that love falls apart Your little piece of heaven turns too dark Listen to your heart [Verse 1: Witt Lowry] I'm face down in the dirt, someone pick me up I've hesitated for too long, now enough is enough Since we first met, it was on the up and up She smiled at me and say "Its nice to see you and such" Yeah I thought she was nice But I had just been hurt so my heart was like ice Figured I didn't really want another girl in my life But she seemed a little different and with her I felt right So I would see her at parties and we'd talk for a while My emotions got stronger, kept 'em tucked like a file Suppressed them, it'd always come back with a smile And I would always question, what am I gonna do now? Cause it was complicated, but it felt right I thought I didn't care, but she got me up all night Thinking 'bout how it would be if she was more in my life But when it came to her, I was all bark and no bite So summer ticked by like the hands of a clock And my heart was screaming "Yes", but my mind would say "Stop" And school was starting soon, I wouldn't see her a lot So I never got to tell her how I felt or my thoughts I would listen to my heart, but wouldn't let it speak And now knowing that I didn't, its just haunting me I guess I was blind then, but now I see That I wish you had've known what you meant to me Preach [Hook: Roxette] I know there's something in the wake of your smile I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah You've built a love, but that love falls apart Your little piece of heaven turns too dark Listen to your heart [Verse 2: Witt Lowry] School broke us up, she wasn't far from my mind I figured I would see her, it was just a matter of time Then I could tell her how I felt, just unload my mind Winter break was starting soon, I figured perfect time Everybody got together just to celebrate That we could put away our books and the papermate I start to look around the room and thought see must be late I saw her friend and joked, she really gonna make me wait Then the mood changed quick, she sat down on a stool And said "You must not have heard what happened up at school?" She was talking to this dude and he was kind of a tool He was drunk and drove her home, she broke her number one rule I guess she never made it home, but ended up in a lake Because this douche was too drunk and didn't hit his brakes Swerved off of the road, I thought you went to her wake I could imagine how you feel right now, my heart still aches The worst thing is this dude treated her like sh** Made her get into the car at the crack of his whip I know she really didn't want to, but her choices were slim I always liked you two together, but I never liked him I would listen to my heart, but wouldn't let it speak And now knowing that I didn't, its just haunting me I guess I was blind then, but now I see That I wish you had've known what you meant to me Preach [Hook: Roxette] I know there's something in the wake of your smile I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah You've built a love, but that love falls apart Your little piece of heaven turns too dark Listen to your heart [Outro: Witt Lowry] I'm face down in the dirt, someone pick me up I've hesitated for too long, now enough is enough Since we first met, it was on the up and up She smiled at me and say "Its nice to see you and such" Yeah, I thought she was nice But I had just been hurt so my heart was like ice Figured I didn't really want another girl in my life But she seemed a little different and with her I felt right
