I Wish Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fuck this Patron, I'm so damn gone
Really wish it was you that was blowing up my phone
But I, know I can't come home to ya
Know I'm not the one for ya
You tell me take a step back
I'm mourning what I can't have
You’re taken I don’t like that
I'm so open, oh, goddam
I blame it on the liquor
I'm calling you press ignore

[Pre-hook]
What am I supposed to do when I can't help how I feel
All I know is I want you and I hate that this is real, yeah
Said I hate that this is real, yeah

[Hook]
'Cause I be drunk texting, drunk texting, drunk texting you
And she be texting back like "this ain't ya man, who the fuck are you?"
All up in the morning wishing you just had me moaning
All up in my feelings wishing you were climbing on it
Boy I wish I was with ya
Wish I could kiss ya
But you in love with her
And I ain't in the picture
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish it was me and you
[Verse 2]
You got me out here looking thirsty
And I don't deserve to be in this position
When I first met you, you was feeling me
But you didn't tell me I had competition
So what you doing in the club
Being all up in my ear
You damn sure knew that I was drunk
Lead me on and disappear
I'm still gon' blame it on this liquor
And I'm still gon' hope you pick up

[Pre-hook]
What am I supposed to do when I can't help how I feel
All I know is I want you and I hate that this is real, yeah
Said I hate that this is real, yeah

[Hook]
'Cause I be drunk texting, drunk texting, drunk texting you
And she be texting back like "this ain't ya man, who the fuck are you?"
All up in the morning wishing you just had me moaning
All up in my feelings wishing you were climbing on it
Boy I wish I was with ya
Wish I could kiss ya
But you in love with her
And I ain't in the picture
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish it was me and you
[Verse 3]
Can't stop thinking about what I'm missing
I need you boy, I want you on a mission
Don’t shoot me down 'cause on the low you want my attention
Said you want my attention
I keep telling myself that you'll change your mind tomorrow
So I be drinking to rid of all my sorrows
Get lit, take my mind off shit so this pill I will swallow
I gotta let my mind go

[Pre-hook]
What am I supposed to do when I can't help how I feel
All I know is I want you and I hate that this is real, yeah
Said I hate that this is real, yeah

[Hook]
'Cause I be drunk texting, drunk texting, drunk texting you
And she be texting back like "this ain't ya man, who the fuck are you?"
All up in the morning wishing you just had me moaning
All up in my feelings wishing you were climbing on it
Boy I wish I was with ya
Wish I could kiss ya
But you in love with her
And I ain't in the picture
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish it was me and you
