Wish I Could Talk To You Lyrics

I wish I could talk to you

I wish I could talk to you

I was just a cub when you walked away

Left me with questions, so much to say

I knew who you were, but you stay far

Distance between us, but I carry the scar

You gave me one moment I'll never forget

Thirteen in Florida, that was the best yet

You let me be me, let me pierce my ears

In that small act, I felt you were near

But time has a way of making hearts grow cold

I shut you out as I started to grow old

Since this became my armor, my way to hide

From the hurt and the pain buried deep inside

Wish I could talk to you, tell you how I feel

Now that you're gone, the pain's all too real

Miss all the years we could've shared

Now I'm left with memories, and the love we've declared

I wish I could talk to you about life and love

All the things I wish I'd said before you went above

I chose silence, but walls so high

Hurt and anger, they masked my goodbye

But deep inside, I still carry you

In every choice, in everything I do

Now you're gone, and I feel the space

Wish I could call just to see your face

Tell you I made it, I found my way

But oh, how I wish you could hear me say

The time has a way of healing the soul

Though I was bitter, I still fell whole

Before you left, I gotta say I love you

Now it's the only memory that feels true

Wish I could talk to you, tell you how I feel

Now that you're gone, the pain's all too real

Miss all the years we could've shared

Now I'm left with memories, and the love we've declared

Wish I could talk to you about life and love

All the things I wish I'd said before you went above

If I could reach through the stars tonight

I'd ask you about your dreams, your fight

Before you left, I gotta say I love you

Now it's the only memory that feels true

If I could reach through the stars tonight

I'd ask you about your dreams, your fight

Before you left, I gotta say I love you

Now it's the only memory that feels true

And I told you I love you

Before you went away

Now I hold those words close

Every day

I've grown up, I've done well

But sometimes I wonder

If you could tell

Now I carry the weight

But I forgive you

Wish I could tell you that

Wish I could see you

I wish I could talk to you
