Lyrics

It seems that every dark cloud holds a picture
Of you the day you left me here alone
And when I look away from those cruel memories
I see my hand, it?s reaching for the phone

I know deep in your heart that it?s half empty
I hear the lack of feeling in your voice
The rain won?t wash away this many ashes
And the sunrise come tomorrow has no choice

I wish I could
I wish I could
I wish I could resist
But I?m too sentimental
A sentimental pessimist

These thoughts of you remain my one addiction
Your icy little laugh won?t let me be
If I had better luck, then I?d be dying
For six cold feet of earth would set me free

Whatever doesn?t kill you makes you weaker
The early worm gets eaten by the bird
The dove of love keeps messing on my windshield
You broke my heart the day you broke your word

I wish I could
I wish I could
I wish I could resist
It?s true I?m sentimental
A sentimental pessimist

I?m sentimental with a twist
A sentimental pessimist

Lyrics Jeff Mondak Music Alex Stangl
