One Wish
James Cottriall · Other Songs - James Cottriall
Is there something that I've missed?
If I had only one wish it's you.
Sometimes I think it's true
I've gotta pay the price for what I do.
If I had only one wish it's you.
Maybe I've been holding on for too long.
Everything I do is just so wrong.
If it's all so bad then why ain't you gone?
Darling either way I'll be singing my song.
I know there's gotta be more than this
Is there something that I've missed?
If I had only one wish it's you.
Sometimes I think it's true
I've gotta pay the price for what I do.
If I had only one wish it's you.
Well, every day is just the same.
I'm sick of your lies and the crazy games.
You've gotta stop before I go insane.
Darling I can't take much more of this pain.
I know there's gotta be more than this
Is there something that I've missed?
If I had only one wish it's you.
Sometimes I think it's true
I've gotta pay the price for what I do.
If I had only one wish it's you.
I'm telling you now if things don't change
I'm gonna be going home alone tonight.
I'm telling you now I'll be one step ahead of you
There's nothing you can do.
I know there's gotta be more than this
Is there something that I've missed?
If I had only one wish it's you.
Sometimes I think it's true
I've gotta pay the price for what I do.
If I had only one wish it's you.
