I Wish

I wish somebody would've warned me 'bout my temper The silence cuts like a splinter I wish somebody would've shown me how to listen 'Cause you deserve a man's attention I wish somebody would've shown me how to be there Without you saying that you need me there I wish somebody would've taught me how to be a MANNNNNN Maybe then I'd understand That if I had someone to teach me LOVE Maybe then I wouldn't fuck it up I wish somebody would've told me how to love you Before the first time I hugged you I wish somebody would've taught me how to treat you Maybe then I could please you I wish somebody would've told me how to leave you Before I learned that I need you I wish somebody would've taught me how to keep you Maybe then I wouldn't grieve you I wish somebody would've told me love is practice Not movie scenes and theatrics I wish somebody would've taught me how to stumble Without making your heart crumble I wish somebody would've told me that it takes years To learn the language of your fears I wish somebody would've taught me not to leave scars I wish I could heal the both of ours I wish I would've messed up with women before you So I could still adore you And I wish I was the type to get it all right the first time 'Cause I hate that all my lessons had to cost you Your peace of mind I wish somebody would've told me how to love you Before the first time I hugged you I wish somebody would've taught me how to treat you Maybe then I could please you I wish somebody would've told me how to leave you Before I learned that I need you I wish somebody would've taught me how to keep you Maybe then I wouldn't grieve you Super daddy chris Writer(s): Mark Edwards
