I Wish I Knew How To Love You
I wish I knew how to love you
Quietly
I wish I knew how to love you
Gently
I wish I knew how to soothe you
Patiently
I wish I knew how to lose you
Nicely
Oh I wish, I wish
I wish so many things
I wish I knew
How to tell you these things
I wish I knew how to hold you
Silently
I wish I knew how to warm you
Kindly
I wish I knew how to heal you
Patiently
I wish I knew how to lose you
Nicely
Oh I wish, I wish
I wish so many things
I wish I knew how to tell you these things
If it was another time, another place
Maybe I would have handled it with grace
Maybe we could have had that last talk
Face to face
I wish I knew how to love you
Fearlessly
I wish I knew how to soothe you
Calmly
I wish I knew how to leave you
Properly
I wish I knew how to treat you
Kindly
But it’s a different time, a different place
And I guess I have even lost my faith
Because now I’m only left with little things
Little memories of what could have been
If only we had fought
For it
