"Wish I Could (But I Can't)" lyrics

I would love to slow my heartbeat down
Whenever you walk in the room
Be perfectly okay when I look over
And I see her touching you

Can I reclaim every shred of hope I spent
Chasing something out of reach?
Maybe then I wouldn't feel like such a fool
For once believing you would
Ever ever pick me

I wanna turn the clock back
To before I thought we had a chance
Do it over
Wish I could but I can't
I wanna stop and rewind
To before I looked into those eyes
Keep from falling
Wish I could but I can't

You probably thought that I was so naive
When I bared my soul to you
Handed over all my broken pieces
So you could make me something new

Did I misinterpret every time it seemed
You were holding yourself back?
Well I guess the joke's on me
I should have known that what you're given
Can be taken away just as fast

I wanna turn the clock back
To before I thought we had a chance
Do it over
Wish I could but I can't
I wanna stop and rewind
To before I looked into those eyes
Keep from falling
Wish I could but I can't
Wish I could but I can't

Just admit it
You know you felt it too
Just admit it
I wasn't the only one
Just admit
We could really be something
Just admit
Oh, you won't?
That's fine

I wanna turn the clock back
To before I thought we had a chance
Do it over
Wish I could but I can't
I wanna stop and rewind
To before I looked into those eyes
Keep from falling
Wish I could but I can't
Wish I could but I can't
