I Wish You Did

You don't know how to love
I know you don't
But you did the best you could

I watched you try to fight
It nearly killed you
because I know things you don't

We pushed and pulled for years
Until we became one, but who remembers you
if not for you

There is nothing I can say
That wouldn't hurt you
What am I to do?

I don't need money, I don't need flowers
I just want a couple of hours with you beside
I don't need rings, I don't need tears
I just wanted a couple of years
To waste my life away

You don't know how to love
But I wish you did
'Cause lord knows that I can't
I could have been a smother of something that we should want oh
but we couldn't stand

So say what you say, say what you need to say
Or just say anything at all to make me feel
like all of this is real
'cause none of us are real

I don't need money, I don't need flowers
I just want a couple of hours with you beside
I don't need rings, I don't need tears
I just wanted a couple of years
to waste my life away

And the words that you don't wanna hear
We don't wanna say
And the trees will keep blowing in the wind if you tell them to change

And the words that we don't wanna hear
We don't wanna say
And the trees won't stop blowing in the wind if you ask them to change
And they'll never explain

I don't need money, I don't need flowers
I just wanted a couple of hours with you to stay
I don't need rings, I don't need tears
I just wanted a couple of years
to waste my life away

We don't know how to love
But I wish we did
We do the best we can
