WISH I HAD YOU Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, I belong to the way you see the world
Got attached to the way you saw me
Had our future aligned just like dominoes
Too much space in between
Close my eyes but what's the use?
'Cause my mind still dreams of you
All alone inside this room
Where you told me
"Maybe we should stop tryna save this"
[Chorus]
So I'll try and do it on my own
But only 'cause I have to
Oh, I'll lie and say I'm havin' fun
When the opposite is true
All the words that I said, couldn't stop you from leavin'
What's left to lose?
I'll try and do it on my own
Oh, God, I wish I had you
[Verse 2]
I remember you asked if wе'd still be friends
What a cruel way to say you'rе happy (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Guess you moved on before, you were really gone
Lyin' right beside me
Just tell me was your heart ever breakin'?
Oh, I belong to the way you see the world
Got attached to the way you saw me
Had our future aligned just like dominoes
Too much space in between
Close my eyes but what's the use?
'Cause my mind still dreams of you
All alone inside this room
Where you told me
"Maybe we should stop tryna save this"
[Chorus]
So I'll try and do it on my own
But only 'cause I have to
Oh, I'll lie and say I'm havin' fun
When the opposite is true
All the words that I said, couldn't stop you from leavin'
What's left to lose?
I'll try and do it on my own
Oh, God, I wish I had you
[Verse 2]
I remember you asked if wе'd still be friends
What a cruel way to say you'rе happy (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Guess you moved on before, you were really gone
Lyin' right beside me
Just tell me was your heart ever breakin'?
[Chorus]
So I'll try and do it on my own
But only 'cause I have to
Oh, I'll lie and say I'm havin' fun
When the opposite is true
All the words that I said, couldn't stop you from leavin'
What's left to lose?
I'll try and do it on my own
Oh, God, I wish I had you
[Outro]
Close my eyes but what's the use?
Oh-ooh-ooh
'Cause my mind still dreams of you
Ooh-ooh
Yeah, I'll try and do it on my own
But, God, I wish I had you
So I'll try and do it on my own
But only 'cause I have to
Oh, I'll lie and say I'm havin' fun
When the opposite is true
All the words that I said, couldn't stop you from leavin'
What's left to lose?
I'll try and do it on my own
Oh, God, I wish I had you
[Outro]
Close my eyes but what's the use?
Oh-ooh-ooh
'Cause my mind still dreams of you
Ooh-ooh
Yeah, I'll try and do it on my own
But, God, I wish I had you

What did Ruel say about "WISH I HAD YOU"?
Genius Answer
It’s similar to ‘LIE’ in the way of looking at a breakup with someone moving on way before you had. It’s almost the opposite way of looking at it. Instead of asking someone to lie and say you love me, it’s lying to them and saying that [I’m] having a great time, and I can do it on my own, and I’m fine. You’re clearly not, but you’re trying to put this facade on, so they want you back.
