I wish I could be happy for you like I should.
I wish I could be so calm before you, solid wood
But time takes so many things and so many things have left me now
And heartbreak can always cling to anything.
I can't get you out.

Time takes so many things, so many things that I remember
Time takes so many things, so many things but I can't get you out

For all these dreams I don't remember
There are these dreams that I wish I could forget.

If you ever feel sorry for me, or like you should
Cos all of the grief that I carry for you is understood
Your words won't do anything cos too many things have held me down
I can't see anything that you could bring to help me now.

Chorus

I wish the clouds would part in this broken sky
And time would start to move again
So my heart could say it's goodbye
But until then

Chorus
