Wasted Wishing Lyrics

He was the one who carried on for all those years
He was the one whose shoulder collected her tears
The world was such a perfect place
He would always remember the look on her face
As she slipped away again
Disappearing in plain sight
Falling in and out of consciousness
Her weakness shows,
Her eyelids close,
Never knowing if she would wake up
He kept her warm as she nodded off mid-sentence, yellow bruises on her arms
The worst was over
The world was such a perfect place
He would always remember the look on her face
As she slipped away again
Disappearing in plain sight
Rested somewhere between life and death
Her weakness shows,
Her eyelids close,
Never knowing if she would wake up
I can't keep carrying on this way
I'm out of blood to bleed, air to breathe,
Nothing could come between you and me
What more do you want from me?
Like time we wasted wishings
To have been with someone else
The things you take for granted slip away
What happened to that little girl?
What happened to the way you were?
Where does the time go?
Being wrong just felt so right
So I guess I'll never know
