I Wish It Could Be Different

You're holding on for something better
To land in your lap
It will take
As long as you want it to
While everybody moves around
You've been standing as still as a stone
Waiting for things to arrive

And now the problems
That you caused on your own
Have arrived at your door
Like an army of hungry wolves
They grew in numbers
As they ran through the night
With the scent of your blood
Seeping from all of your wounds.

Oh, I wish it could be different.
Oh, I wish it could be different.
Oh, I wish it could be different.
Oh, I wish it could be different.

I took flight in the night
And I ran from the friends in my home
The home where my family tried
To stay together
Whilst the weather was battering down
At the door
Ripping up wholes in the floor
But all the help, all the thought, all the effort was gone
And all I did
All I gave in return
Was a thanks, but no thanks

Oh, I wish it could be different.
Oh, I wish it could be different.
Oh, I wish it could be different.
Oh, I wish it could be different.

Oh, I wish it could be different.
Oh, I wish it could be different.
Oh, I wish it could be different.
Oh, I wish it could be different.
Oh, I wish it could be different.
Oh, I wish it could be different.
Oh, I wish it could be different.
Oh, I wish it could be different.
