Wish I Was Cool

from An Easy Escape by Shelley Segal

lyrics

Oh I wish that I
Was cooler than I am
I wish I didn't care
I wish I didn't go through
All these things in my head
When you're not there
I wish I didn't care
But I do

Oh I wish that I
Wouldn't hold onto every nasty thing you say
I wish I wasn't aware
I wish I wouldn't cry
But then it wouldn't be me
You were loving anyway
I wish that I could say
To you

Why can't you say I love you
Can't you say I love you
Say I love you
I love you

Oh I wish that I
Could just make up my mind about what's real
I know that you love me
But to know it's not that great
If it's not how you make me feel
You don't seem to care
About the things that I do

Oh I wish that I
Could just switch off all these voices in my head
The ones that say you don't deserve me
That I should be getting so much more
From someone else instead
But all I want is you
I make myself so confused

Why can't you say I love you
Can't you say I love you
Say I love you
I love you
La la la la la la la love you
You you you you you drive me crazy
If you know that I am insecure
Why can't you just stop to reassure

Oh I wish that you
Wanted to give me all the things
That I give to you
But you're making me so blue

Maybe it's not your fault
Maybe you don't even see that you can be so cold
Maybe you don't say I love you because you were never told
Give you everything I have
It's not something that I expect you to do
But the less effort you make the less and less I want to be with you

Why can't you say I love you
Can't you say I love you
Say I love you
I love you
La la la la la la la love you
You you you you you drive me crazy
If you know that I am insecure
Why can't you just stop to reassure
