I wish I didn't have to write anymore.
I wish I didn't have to MAKE people feel things.
Because really, everyone says they want to feel
but they're piss-pants afraid of something going wrong
so they trot around robot-style
and don't give a damn.

I wish I didn't have to write anymore
and people could just look into my face right now.
I wish they could see my crying over all the stupid shit they hand me to dry clean for them,
only to mess it up the next day and bring it back for more,
saying it's my fault they rolled around in the mud.

I wish I didn't have to write anymore.
I wish I didn't have to MAKE people think with all these question.
I wish they could see their options in front of them
all those painfully obvious questions and answers.
If they did, maybe they'd stop painting themselves into corners and wouldn't have to scream my name like they were on fire.

I wish I didn't have to write anymore.
I wish everything worked in a way that I didn't have to, ever again,
about anything bad.

I wish someone other than me had some guts.
I wish someone other than me had some answers.
I wish someone other than me actually stood up for themself and did what they said they would.
I wish someone other than me had some fucking conviction.
I wish someone other than me could take a joke.
I wish someone other than me would try to understand
I wish someone other than me would bother to FEEL
I wish someone other than me had a brain in their head.

And I wish someone other than me was here right now
to share this goddamn pain with me
and slap me across the fucking head
and tell me how stupid I'm being about all of this.

I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore
I wish I didn't have to write anymore

I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO WRITE ANYMORE
