I Wish I was Her

(Intro)
I wish I was Her
the reason for that look in your eyes
The one who gets the truth 
while I get the lies

(Verse 1)
She makes you smile 
like I wish I could
I hear you laughing, 
but it feels like wood
Across the room, 
I’m catching your eye
But you’re a thousand miles away, 
and I’m wondering why
You walk through the door, 
but you didn’t come home alone
You’re wearing her perfume 
like it’s your own.

(Chorus)
I wish I was her—
the reason for that look in your eyes
The one who gets the truth 
while I get the lies
I wish I was her—
the one you didn’t cast aside
The one who isn’t drowning 
in her own pride
I wouldn't be begging, 
I wouldn't be gray
Wiping my tears 
while you’re turning away
God, I wish I was her.

(Verse 2)
How could I be so blind to the game?
Watching you change 
while I stayed the same
How can I love the man 
who broke every vow?
While you’re tasting her lips 
and forgetting me now
I know I deserve a love that’s true
But I fell for the ghost 
of the man I knew
I should’ve known better 
than to trust a beautiful lie
Now I’m the one watching 
the well run dry.

(Chorus)
I wish I was her—
the reason for that look in your eyes
The one who gets the truth 
while I get the lies
I wish I was her—
the one you didn’t cast aside
The one who isn’t drowning 
in her own pride
I wouldn't be begging, 
I wouldn't be gray
Wiping my tears 
while you’re turning away
God, I wish I was her.

(Bridge)
It didn't matter 
what I had to say
You looked at the mess 
and just walked away
"I’m sorry," you whispered, 
"it’ll be okay"
Like a bandage could fix a heart in decay
You told me "don't worry," 
then you walked out the door
Left me wondering what I was fighting for.

(Chorus)
I wish I was her—
the reason for that look in your eyes
The one who gets the truth 
while I get the lies
I wish I was her—
the one you didn’t cast aside
The one who isn’t drowning 
in her own pride
I wouldn't be begging, 
I wouldn't be gray
Wiping my tears 
while you’re turning away
God, I wish I was her.

(Outro)
Yeah, I wish I was her.
The one you’re running to.
Instead of the one...
You’re running through.
