One Wish

If a genie offered me one wish, there's nothing I want without you.

[Verse 1]

Today I found a genie

In a rusted, old bottle

So I packed away my tears

Just to save 'em for tomorrow

He offers me my one wish

If I name it, then it's mine

But my heart's truest desire

Has long ago died

[Chorus]

'Cause he can't give me you

He can't bring our love back

He can't change the way that fate

Has stabbed me in the chest

He can't mend the heartache

He can't stop the bleedin'

He can't change the fact: you left

Not even if I beg

See all I really want, darlin'

Is what I can't have

[Verse 2]

Fame, fortune, money,

Success, or otherwise

I wouldn't want a damn thing

If you're not by my side

He tries to offer me more options

Of things to wish upon

But I tell him, I'll have nothing

Since it can't be your love

[Chorus]

But he can't give me you

He can't bring our love back

He can't change the way that fate

Has stabbed me in the chest

He can't mend the heartache

He can't stop the bleedin'

He can't change the fact: you left

Not even when I beg

See all I really want, darlin'

Is what I can't have

[Bridge]

Now I'm in my empty room

Begging these tears to stop

Staring blankly out this window,

And wonderin' why you're gone

I pray I might find sleep

As I play your lullaby

Your memory still lingers

I hold onto it tight

And I know it won't come true

But I wish for you tonight

[Chorus]

'Cause he can't give me you

He can't bring our love back

He can't change the way that fate

Has stabbed me in the chest

He can't mend my heartache

He can't stop my bleedin'

He can't change the fact: you left

no matter how I beg, and I beg!

'Cause he can't give me you

He can't bring our love back

He can't change the way that fate

Has stabbed me in the chest

You're all I really want, baby

The only thing I want, dear

You're all I really want, darlin'

You're what I can't have
