"Wish I Knew" lyrics

Look in the mirror and you're not there
It's getting me down
Feeling so violent
So violent, no
And they don't know what I do to make things right
I'm taking things slowly
'Cause that's what I'm used to
I know one thing's for certain
You're scared, tired, and nervous
Time heals and that I know now
Thought I found love when I'd fallen
But I'm still searching

It's sad that I lost, it's sad that I lost you, baby
It's better for us, it's better for me to see clearly
It's sad that I lost, it's sad that I lost you, baby
It's better for us, it's better for me to see clearly

Starting to think the closer you get, the quicker I leave
But I'm tryna fight it
Fight it, no
They don't know what we've been through
What got us here
But I kept it be silent
In hopes to keep you all to myself
I know one thing's for certain
I'm scared, tired, and nervous
Time heals and that I know now
Thought I found love when I'd fallen
I'm still searching

It's not that I lost, it's not that I lost you, baby
It's better for us, it's better for me to see clearly
It's better, it's better, it's better
It's not that I lost, it's not that I lost you, baby
It's better for us, it's better for me to see clearly

Wish I knew
What I know now
Wish I knew
What I know now
Doing what you're doing 'cause you're scared of love
I'm doing what I'm doing 'cause I'm scared of love
Doing what you're doing 'cause you're scared of love
That's what I know, what I know now
Face me, how could you never embrace me?
How could you never face me?
How could you never embrace me?
How could you never ever face me?
How could you never embrace me?
How could you never face me?
How could you never embrace me?
How could you never ever?

Oh, baby
Doing what you're doing 'cause you're scared of love
I'm doing what I'm doing 'cause I'm scared of love
Doing what you're doing 'cause you're scared of love
