I wish I hadn't let myself have hope
I wish I'd realised none of it was real
I wish I'd known to keep my big mouth shut
And not tell anybody how I feel

I wish I'd kept my buttons all done up
I wish I'd left my hair the way it was
I wish I'd known how sad it must have looked
I wish it didn't hurt now-but it does

I wish I'd never sent that stupid card
I wish I'd known you'd just throw it away
I wish you hadn't guessed that it was me
I wish you'd told me you feel the same way

I wish I was the one engaged to you
I wish I didn't love you-but I do
