Lyrics Wish Myself Away (Acoustic Version) - Eleventyseven

I'm disguising all my whining
With three chords and four four timing
Line by line I realize
I'm the same I was when I was five
I'll admit to narcissism
If it keeps me out of prison
My situation is tragic
Cause I can break a heart but not these habits

I wish I was a little more confident
I wish I had a little more of the "it" factor they say you need
To amount to anything

I wish I rocked a little harder
Pushed the line a little father
I wish that I was okay being me
I wish I burned a little brighter
Could make my heart a little lighter
I wish I wouldn't wish myself away

If I can't hide
I'll victimize me with a thousand little lies
I'll wrap my version of the truth
Around the finger in my mind
And when I doubt
I'll write my confidence a check I know will bounce
And it serves me right
For not cleaning up after my mind

I wish I was a little more confident
I wish I had a little more of the "it" factor they say you need
To amount to anything

I wish I rocked a little harder
Pushed the line a little father
I wish that I was okay being me
I wish I burned a little brighter
Could make my heart a little lighter
I wish I wouldn't wish myself away

I wish I was a little more punk than pop
A little less cotton candy rock
And it's about time that I admit
I wish I wrote better songs than this
A little more hanging with my friends
A little less stressing out again
A little less Michael-fracking-Bay
A little more point to my story

I wish I rocked a little harder
Pushed the line a little father
I wish I wouldn't wish myself away yeah
I wish I burned a little brighter
Could make my heart a little lighter
I wish I wouldn't wish myself away
I wish I wouldn't wish myself away
