I Just Wanna Wish You Happiness - Badly Drawn Boy

Well, the truth hurts

The cards left on the table

That we set

And placed our bets

And the time spent

Remembering the things

We should forget

And not regret

But I just wanna wish you happiness

For the time that I was with you

And the rest

Is it true that

It’s better to have loved and lost

Than not

Have loved at all

And we aimed high

So at the risk of falling short

We’d still stand tall

Right through it all

But I just wanna wish you happiness

For the time that I was with you

And the rest

At first the wall is much higher than it seemed

And the roots by now

Are much deeper than the seeds

But we could grow again

If we just tell ourselves

We’ve been through this before

Tell me is it strange that

I don’t remember falling out of love

Yet the bolt’s undone

And the storm came

Arrived without a warning

Unannounced, like a distant sound

Well, I just wanna wish you happiness

For the time that I was with you

And the rest

And the times that I imagined

Losing you

Be careful what you wish for

Cos what you wish for

Just might come true
