I Wish That I Could Tell You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How do you tell someone you're letting go
I wish that I could tell you
But you're asking me things that I don't know
I wish that I could tell you
The words that I would say
Sound as empty as the way you feel inside
While the silence in between
Tells me everything that you deny

[Chorus]
I don't know how to help you
I wish that I could tell you
How to tell me goodbye

[Verse 2]
I don't know how you leave it all behind
I wish that I could tell you
Is it true a heart heals itself with time
I wish that I could tell you
How do you choose
Do you hurt them with the truth or with a lie
Where do you go to find the courage
You know I could never find

[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Where do you turn, where do you go
When you've finally reached the end of the road
How do you say it I just don't know
When it comes to leaving you're on your own

[Outro]
How do you tell someone you're letting go
I wish that I could tell you
I wish that I could tell you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
