I wish I could be better than the new ones They will try their best to win their place I wish I could be cooler than the old ones And learn how to forget your pretty face They all just start the same old conversation You wish that they could see you as yourself The days that break just fade in observation Hearing all the songs I made for you all by myself Will they try to teach you things about them Or will they just inspire you to fall? Tell them 'bout the things that make you cry To see if they would really stay a while It's just that Some things can never stay the same I'm going back to yesterday To see if I can change but I will Come back pretending it's OK Wish away my life until I see you in the rain Oh, here it goes again Walking down the path I just don't seem to understand In spite the long way, I travel it the same Maybe at the end I'll find the reason for the pain It's getting colder the more you stay away I tell my mind I don't need all the memories that she plays But she keeps on and on; Singing the same song Might as well accept that I'll be waiting for so long Some things can never stay the same I'm going back to yesterday To see if I can change but I will Come back pretending it's OK Wish away my life until I see you in the rain Will they try to teach you things about them Or will they just inspire you to fall? Tell them 'bout the things that make you cry To see if they would really stay a while (Wish I could) Be better than the new ones I (Wish I could) Wish I could be cooler than the old ones I (Wish I could) Be better than the new ones I wish I could do better than you
