I wish I was a reader and I wish I was The kind of daughter that calls her mom With stupid questions or anything at all

And I wish that I was smaller or I wish I was Better at being kind to the one body that I've got After all, it keeps me breathin' 'til the day it just cannot

I wish I didn't feel like a burden All the time Wish I were certain I wanna live this Kind of life

I wish I didn't linger on every thought Reshaping every moment to the point of losing touch Wish I was in my body 'stead of hovering above

And I wish that I was harder and I wish I was Less of a feeler so it wouldn't hurt so much But I offer all my pillows and I give my bed to lay I'm a shoulder for a cry until the tears melt me away

I wish I didn't feel like a burden All the time Wish I were certain I wanna live this Kind of life

I wish that I was smarter and I wish I could Communicate a thought without being misunderstood But it's better keeping quiet, yeah, it's easy staying put

And I wish I didn't cater when I know I should've Stop begging for forgiveness and start putting down my foot I'm just used to people pleasing, yeah, I've gotten way too good I think I've become the person that I said I never would

I wish I didn't feel like a burden All the time Wish I were certain I wanna live this Kind of life

I wish I didn't feel like a burden I wish I wasn't so scared of something I wish these wishes weren't all for nothing All the time
