[Verse 1]
All I ask for is three wishes
Nothing more, nothing less
I hand out love like spare change
Then count my own emptiness
I fix your crown, I patch your cracks
I stay when your walls fall in
But when I look in my own hands
There’s barely a spark to spend
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been strong for everybody
Now my knees feel made of glass
Every favor I ever gave you
Comes back with nothing asked
[Chorus]
Three wishes left
Don’t take that from me
Three wishes left
That’s all I need
I gave and gave
Now I’m down to me
Three wishes left
Please, let me breathe (let me breathe)
[Verse 2]
I know how to be the safe place
I know how to bite my tongue
I know how to smile through damage
Like the bruises never hung
You say I’m always there, always
Like that means I don’t get tired
But I’ve been pouring from a broke jar
Til my own light almost died
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been strong for everybody
Now my knees feel made of glass
Every favor I ever gave you
Comes back with nothing asked
[Chorus]
Three wishes left
Don’t take that from me
Three wishes left
That’s all I need
I gave and gave
Now I’m down to me
Three wishes left
Please, let me breathe (let me breathe)
[Bridge]
Wish one: a little mercy
Wish two: my name in gold
Wish three: someone who stays
When my voice gets cold
No more saving everyone
While I fade to the side
I want one small miracle
And I want it mine
[Final Chorus]
Three wishes left
Don’t take that from me
Three wishes left
That’s all I need
I gave and gave
Now I’m down to me
Three wishes left
Please, let me breathe (let me breathe)
Three wishes left
I’m asking clean
Three wishes left
For the girl in me
