I Wish I Could Love You by MrGuardianDown - Zona

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You stand before me, with eyes so kind,

A love so rare, it’s hard to find.

You hold out your heart, open and true,

But I can’t give mine back the same way to you.

I wish I could tell you what’s broken inside,

But the words get lost, and I run to hide.

[Pre-Chorus]

I want to feel it, I want to believe,

But my heart’s a puzzle, and love’s out of reach.

[Chorus]

I wish I could love you, with all of my soul,

Give you the pieces to make you whole.

It’s not that I don’t care, it’s not that I’m blind,

But I’m lost in a darkness I can’t leave behind.

I wish I could love you, the way that you do,

But my heart just won’t let me be true.

[Verse 2]

You paint a future so vivid, so bright,

A world full of color, free of the night.

But I’m stuck in shadows, afraid to feel,

Wishing I could show you a love that’s real.

You deserve a fire that burns with no end,

Not someone like me, who can’t even pretend.

[Pre-Chorus]

I want to feel it, I want to believe,

But my fears are chains I can’t seem to leave.

[Chorus]

I wish I could love you, with all of my soul,

Give you the pieces to make you whole.

It’s not that I don’t care, it’s not that I’m blind,

But I’m lost in a darkness I can’t leave behind.

I wish I could love you, the way that you do,

But my heart just won’t let me be true.

[Verse 3]

Maybe someday, when the storms fade away,

I’ll find the courage to ask you to stay.

But for now, I watch as I let you go,

Hoping you’ll find the love I can’t show.

I’ll carry the thought of what we could be,

But love’s a dream that escapes from me.

[Pre-Chorus]

I want to feel it, I want to believe,

But I’m stuck in a battle I can’t seem to leave.

[Chorus]

I wish I could love you, with all of my soul,

Give you the pieces to make you whole.

It’s not that I don’t care, it’s not that I’m blind,

But I’m lost in a darkness I can’t leave behind.

I wish I could love you, the way that you do,

But my heart just won’t let me be true.

[Bridge]

You’re the light I never thought I’d find,

A voice that calms the chaos in my mind.

But love’s not a gift I can freely give,

When I’m still learning how to live.

It’s not you, it’s the scars I bear,

A weight too heavy for us to share.

[Outro]

I wish I could love you, but I’ll let you be,

To find the joy that I can’t set free.

And maybe someday, when I’ve healed my soul,

I’ll find you again, and love you whole.
