I Wish - Reed Deming

I’ve always been told to love myself

I try but I can never understand

It’s hard for me to always keep it real

When I don’t like the man I really am

I cover up the holes I can’t fill

Or I hide them in the back of my mind

I over compensate for my flaws

So all that people see is my disguise

I wish that I wasn’t so emotional

I wish that I didn’t always lose control

I’m told I got it good but I think it’s bull

'Cuz I still wish

I wish I was a little bit older, little bit taller

Little little bit bigger, little bit stronger

Little bit wiser, little bit kinder of a heart

I wish I was a little bit tougher, little bit harder

Little bit richer, little bit smarter

I just wanna be a little more of something that I’m not

I just wanna be a little more of something that I’m not

I just wanna be a little more of something that I’m not

Oh, I wish that I’d never shoot and miss

I wish that I would never fake a smile

I wish that I could have my first kiss

I wish I’d fall in love for a while

I wish that I wasn’t so emotional

I wish that I didn’t always lose control

I’m told I got it good but I think it’s bull

'Cuz I still wish

I wish I was a little bit older, little bit taller

Little bit bigger, little bit stronger

Little bit wiser, little bit kinder of a heart

I wish I was a little bit tougher, little bit harder

Little bit richer, little bit smarter

I just wanna be a little more of something that I’m not

I just wanna be a little more of something that I’m not

I just wanna be a little more of something that I’m not

I wish I could say that I wouldn’t change

'Cuz I’m okay, okay with me

But deep down I know

I’m not even close to being someone I wanna be

I wish I could say that I wouldn’t change

'Cuz I’m okay, okay with me

But deep down I know

I’m not even close to being someone I wanna be

I wish I was a little bit older, little bit taller

Little bit bigger, little bit stronger

Little bit wiser, little bit kinder of a heart

I wish I was a little bit tougher, little bit harder

Little bit richer, little bit smarter

I just wanna be a little more of something that I’m not

I just wanna be a little more of something that I’m not

I just wanna be a little more of something that I’m not
