I want you to say
You didn’t want it that way
To reach out on your own
To say you even miss the place
You used to call home
(Wishful thinking)
I want you to wish
You would have said
More things like this
But you didn’t
But you would’ve
(Broken dreams)
I want you to want to know
What I want you to say
Meet me at the table
I always wanted you to
Sit at with me
That you will be there
(Lunatic thoughts)
I want you to admit
That it was really good
That it was
Something you betrayed
Something you left behind
Something you threw away
Something you did
(Idealism hurts)
When you made the decision
Not to be kind
But to remind yourself
That you were always right
I want you to say
You were wrong
That you lied
To yourself
About how right
How good
How deeply
That I loved you
(Love is blind)
And to understand
That all I ever needed
Was to be acknowledged
For your crime
Not showing up for me
(Not reading my mind)
In the way you said
That you could
Or at least
For you to wish
You wanted to
I want you to say
You didn’t want it that way
To reach out on your own
To say you miss the home
I built for us
(That you abandoned)
I want you to wish
You would have said
More things like this
But you didn’t
Because you couldn’t
Hear my side
The sound of
(Your own voice)
To yourself was
More appealing
