lyrics

I wish I’d never seen your face
And looked deep in those eyes
I wish I had the insight
To see through your cheap disguise

I wish I wasn’t blinded
By a longing to be loved
I wish I wasn’t weak
I should be cynical and tough

I wish I’d never know you
Wish I’d never heard your lies
I wish I’d never glimpsed
The silent suffering in your eyes

And felt that I could feel you
I hoped that I could heal you
But now I wish I’d never known you
As I’ll bet you wish you’d never met me

Why did I think that I could fix you
When I opened up my heart
You left me bruised and broken
Should have seen it at the start

Now I’m at the end of a great mess
I should not have let begin
This war that you created
That neither of us could win

I wish I’d never know you
Wish I’d never heard your lies
I wish I’d never glimpsed
The pent-up pain behind your eyes

And felt that I could feel you
I hoped that I could heal you

Oh why is my heart guided
By such longing and such lust
That it lets down its defences
As it opens wide with trust

For someone who was toxic
Who would only drag me down
You were the weight around my neck
That tried to make me drown

Well now your poison’s in my system
You’re still underneath my skin
And I wish I’d never met you
Wish I’d never let you in

I wish I’d never know you
Wish I’d never heard your lies
I wish I’d never glimpsed
That tortured terror in your eyes

And felt that I could feel you
I hoped that I could heal you

But now I wish I’d never known you
Now I wish I’d never known you
Now I wish I’d never known
