I wish I loved as well as I could write
I wish I wrote the things I truly mean
I wish I was the sum of my goodbyes
I wish I knew what to do with in-betweens
I could carry in the palm of my hand
All the times you looked at me like I was lovely
That's not to say I don't think you think I'm lovely
That's to say that I carry all the times
I'll be the elephant in the room
If it means I'm there
I'd be a fly on your wall
If it meant that I had a prayer
I think you are a lover by design
I'd carve you out in poetry and stone
Try as I might, I'm struggling to stride
The great divide between the knowing and the known
I could carry in the hand on my heart
All the times you made me feel like I was something
That's not to say I think you think I'm nothing
That's to say that I carry all the times
I'll be the elephant in the room
If it means I'm there
I'd be a fly on your wall
If it meant that I had a prayer
I'll be the elephant in the room
If it means I'm there
I'd be a fly on your wall
If it meant that I had a prayer
