Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sitting home alone
Thinkin' about my past
Wondering how I made it
And how long it's gon' last
Success has come to lots of them
And failure's always there
Time, time waits for no one
And I wish, how I wish someone would care
[Bridge]
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
Some folks think you're happy
When you wear your smile
What about your tribulations
And all, all of your trials?
Smiles, smiles hide a lots of things
The good, the bad, the hurt
All of this goes too
[Chorus]
And I wish (How I wish, how I wish)
I wish (How I wish, how I wish)
How I wish someone would care
[Outro]
I wish someone would care
Don't you think someone should care?
Ah, don't you think someone should care?
Sit down and think about yourself
Ah, don't you think someone should care?
