Wishes

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Cinya Khan] I wish I was a reader, and I wish I was The kind of daughter that calls her mom With stupid questions or anything at all And I wish that I was smaller, or I wish I was Better at being kind to the one body that I've got After all, it keeps me breathin' 'til the day it just cannot [Chorus: Cinya Khan, Cinya Khan & Maya Rae, Cinya Khan, Judah Mayowa & Maya Rae] I wish I didn't feel like a burden All the time Wish I was certain I wanna live this kind of life [Verse 2: Maya Rae, Cinya Khan & Maya Rae] I wish I didn't linger on every thought Reshapin' every moment to the point of losin' touch Wish I was in my body 'stead of hoverin' above (Ooh-ooh, ooh) And I wish that I was harder, and I wish I was Less of a feeler so it wouldn't hurt so much But I offer all my pillows and I give my bed to lay I'm a shoulder for a cry until the tears melt me away [Chorus: Maya Rae, Cinya Khan, Judah Mayowa & Maya Rae] I wish I didn't feel like a burden All the time Wish I was certain I wanna live this kind of life [Verse 3: Judah Mayowa] I wish that I was smarter, and I wish I could Communicate a thought without being misunderstood But it's better keeping quiet, yeah, it's easy staying put And I wish I didn't cater when I know I should Stop beggin' for forgiveness and start puttin' down my foot I'm just used to people-pleasin', yeah, I've gotten way too good I think I've become the person that I said I never would [Chorus: Judah Mayowa, Cinya Khan, Judah Mayowa & Maya Rae] I wish I didn't feel like a burden All the time Wish I was certain I wanna live this kind of life [Outro: Judah Mayowa, Cinya Khan, Maya Rae & Judah Mayoma, Maya Rae, Cinya Khan] I wish I didn't (I wish I didn't) feel like a burden Ah, oh-oh I wish I wasn't (I wish I wasn't) so scared of something Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh I wish these wishes weren't all for nothing All the time
