I Wish I Knew

Nick Brignola · Other Songs - Nick Brignola

I wish I knew someone like you could love me

I wish I knew you place no one above me

Did I mistake this for a real romance?

I wish I knew, but only you can answer.



If you don't care, why let me hop[e and pray so

Don't lead me on, if I'm a fool just say so,

Should I keep dreaming on, or just forget you?

What shall I do, I wish I knew
