Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
[Verse 2]
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
So kiss his picture and chuck it in the bin
You been on the road of excess for what seems like forever
The palace of wisdom, are we nearly there yet?
Are you with the flame that you had hoped?
Or are you just afraid to be alone?
I know he says he'll change, but maybe you should know
That people never change, they're just exposed
[Verse 3]
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
I wish you loved you as much as you love
[Verse 4]
Searching for ourselves in one another
You got all the power you need
Don't place them in no lover
I feel your search for balance
And it's comfort in your common challenge
Can't be alone, answer the phone
This lonely life is savage
But we put down that baggage
[Verse 5]
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
[Verse 6]
I wish you loved you and gave yourself loving
Loving yourself is true wealth, honey
I wish you loved you as much as you loved him
You love this guy like there's two of him
To live like that is no life
If you walked away from him, then you would win
That's no cappin'
But maybe you like to be disrespected often
If you had different options
Is it that you like living life?
Oh, behave
It seems you like games, babe
Drama is your safe place
I'm just saying
[Verse 7]
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
[Verse 8]
All the same at the end of the day
It ain't a fair exchange
He always says he'll change
Can't you see it's no use?
You gotta cut off all these things that are not serving you
[Verse 9]
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
[Verse 10]
You wish you could ignore the way it feels
Something in your head says he ain't real
But you shot me down
Say it ain't a big deal 'cause he's gonna change
[Verse 11]
But see, it's all the same at the end of the day
It ain't a fair exchange
He always says he'll change
Can't you see it's no use?
You gotta cut off all these things that are not serving you
