Lyrics:
I wish coffee made your teeth whiter
I wish porn was good for your brain
I wish artists didn’t need money
I wish billionaires were less vain
I wish cheese were not so expensive
I wish doing taxes was fun
I wish one night stands were romantic
I wish guys could cum more than once
I wish ice cream made you more healthy
I wish weed was good for your heart
I wish exercise were less sweaty
I wish drinks were cheaper in bars
I wish we could all be less racist
And I wish the Bible made sense
I wish phones were not so addictive
And I wish we coulda stayed friends
When our never-meant-to-be relationship ended
All the life we lived and now we’re strangers again
All the time we put in
All the things that we’ve been
I wish I had known what I wanted
I wish you had never got mean
I wish we had started off honest
I wish I had made you feel seen
I wish you were less narcissistic
I wish I had known how to help
Wish you coulda seen what I loved in you
Instead of hating yourself
I wish I had met you when Covid
Wasn’t fucking up our whole lives
I wish both of us were less lonely
From our months of staying inside
I wish I were more understanding
I wish you were way less intense
Maybe then you could still stand me
‘Cause I wish we coulda stayed friends
When our never-meant-to-be relationship ended
All the life we lived and now we’re strangers again
All the time we put in
All the things that we’ve been
And it isn’t all your fault
But some of it is
And some of it’s mine
And some of it’s just
Bad timing
And shitty circumstances
I wish Amazon were less evil
I wish climate change were a hoax
Wish I didn’t have to be sad as fuck
To write my funniest jokes
I wish you would someday forgive me
I swear I was trying my best
And I know it wasn’t an option
But I wish we coulda stayed friends
When our never-meant-to-be relationship ended
All the life we lived and now we’re strangers again
All the time we put in
All the things that we’ve been
I just wish we coulda stayed friends
When our never-meant-to-be relationship ended
All the life we lived and now we’re strangers again
All the time we put in
All the things that we’ve been
I just wish we coulda stayed
Just wish we coulda stayed
Chords (capo 3):
Verse:
D A Bm G
Chorus:
G D A Bm A
G D A
Your music is like if Ed Sheeran tried singing as both Evan Hansen and Bo Burnham. In other words, it's amazing in every way.
SO TRUEE THATS WHY I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SONG IMMEDIATELY
Basically, Midwest Emo energy...
I wish people would listen to your music more.
Couldn't agree more
Well one more guy got hooked looks like the wish is working 🔥🔥
++
I share it whenever I can. dude deserves to be famous.
Send it to everyone you know who would like it, share on Facebook, Reddit, etc.
How sorrowful it is to accept it was "our never meant to be relationship" 💔
Thank you for this song.
All the life we lived, and now were strangers again 🥺💔
Loudly crying to this song.
This hits so hard on a personal lv.
Man, I wish more people would be able to hear your music, other than just this small corner of UA-cam. You have a way of speaking from the heart in a way that's not only relatable... but human. You sing as if you wear your heart on your sleeve, and the topics you sing come from the depth of the human heart in these modern times. I think you could genuinely help more people with your music, because of that human connection you give. Please, keep writing when your muse allows it, as you have been.
This song is so underrated
Coming from instagram, added atleast a dozen reviews by forwarding and forcing people to listen to this for just once, the rest is all magic, everyone looped it for an hour atleast
Dude I just found your shit a few weeks ago, don’t stop. There needs to be more music like this
TOTALLY agree on that. Give me more!
I second this. Just found his music this Friday on Instagram and I am hooked. Got all my friends subscribed too!
Kudos brother! You’re doing great. You’re really really talented
I've been listening for his music for like 2 weeks 24/7
yo I found this by accident scrolling through Instagram and I'm so happy it happened. this hit hard to the heart and may be exactly what I needed tonight
Feels. Same bra
Exactly the same JUST happened to me... I'm crying like a baby. Heartbreaks hurt like nothing else.
The algorithm sent me "Important". I dig your stuff man. Music like this is important, even if we're not.
It’s somewhat comforting to know that someone’s been through what I’m currently going through. It’s bittersweet. So thank you for writing this 💕
Moved away from her, she broke up with me, which was fine. But, she got a new boyfriend, blocked me, and now the only way I could connect with her is through her best friend. It's sad, because when her best friend mentions me, she immediately get's defensive. No Idea if I'll ever talk with her again, but I hope I can at least once more. Glad to know more people are at least going through some of the stuff I am.
Going through it right now. What got you through?
@@AllTimeAmberx For me, faith. Sorry to come on a bit religiously strong. But, I'm a believer and honestly that's what got me through... My love for god.
@@bm7151 if that gets you through, that's good. No worries. I won't find it in faith, as my ex was a truly heavy believer and he did me wrong big time. His love was fake, it was all about sex and selfish behavior to get what he wants and needs (he lets other people do the work).
@@AllTimeAmberx I hate people that do stuff like that. But, fyi my partner was not religious either. But, you do you.
Dammit... Right in the feels... Wish we could've stayed friends... Indeed...
My GF sent me the reel and I replied "I wish the reel was a little longer" 😂😂😂
now she sent this youtube video saying that my wish has been granted 😂
awesome song
Yo thats doop😂😂(By the way you you both broke up.)
I love how this song hurts. Except for the Covid part, it describes exactly my last long term relationship, and I listen to it regularly since I discovered it a few months ago. Thanks for sharing this through such a beautiful song
This song resonates with me so much. Everytime I listen to it I cry. Beautiful song. Thank you for putting it out into the world.
The lyrics are simple, and deep in the most meaningful way. I related to this to much and god I didn’t know I needed to hear this until I did. Much love ✌🏻
Almost one year later after not talking, im happy to say that we’re friends now
let us know when it ends aggain
When I compare this to the songs I listen to every day....this one feels 100x more genuine, like the artist is talking directly to you
You know what, this makes me feel sad and happy at the same time
I'm Brazilian so if I write something wrong, forgive me. I'm trying not to use translators like google. But here we go....
The first time I heard your song I keep facing the screen for a couple of minutes. The reel keept singing and I couldn't stop thinking about an ex girlfriend. I rewatched in my head a lot of the moments we lived for 5 years of friendship and 5 months of a relationship. Today I know it was a mistake at some point but I can't decide if it was a mistake trying the relationship or just leting her go.
She broke with me and I knew at that moment that we never would be the same again. And we nerver were. Since we broke, I never spoke to her again. Today we are both married and with a family but I miss her friendship so much sometimes.
Thank you, my friend, for the song. I wish somehow she could know that...
Underrated af
This song just hits different, felt it deep into my veins
I've only known about you for a couple of minutes but i sincerily hope you make it big, love the song.
You always look so happy during these the way I wrote it songs you can really feel it in your music how much fun your having
Why are you soo underrated !!!!
Because nothing matters and everyone should just do whatever they want
That is a quote from this guy
This is just my life since 6 Days! Perfect timing. Perfect but sad..... 😔
I'm legit crying rn. I truly wish all of that.
Found you just from Instagram. This is great. Last weekend I asked myself where are the artists of the 2020's. Here you are. Your song is so breathtaking, full of fun, deep emotion and by the way a perfect description of our time. Best regards from Germany and good luck for your further way as an artist. I hope to hear more from you.
"wish you could've seen what I loved in you instead of hating yourself..." Dedicated to my "never meant to be". ❤️🩹
Best song on UA-cam
This hit harder than expected
Oh god the full version makes me cry more than the IG clip that I play on repeat. Oof. Beautiful but painful
Your lyrics are what happened to me during lockdown.
UK. You would have a great music carrier.
I'm telling you man, your music is amazing! As someone who got divorced after ten years this speaks volumes. Keep it up and I hope more people find you!
Very relatable I wish she’d fight for me as hard as I did for her but you can’t make someone stay in love with you and that’s the lesson I learned
You made me cry like a baby... Losing a relationship, even if it wasn't the best one, is really hard and getting over somebody takes time - thank you for opening my mind for the emotions I'm still going through.
Dammit man, hit me right in the feels. I’m currently missing someone so bad I can’t stand it, I’m trying to get through it one day at a time. Baby steps.
Good luck! You are not alone
"I wish we could've stayed friends, when our never-meant-to-be relationship ended..."
This smashed my heart open on a rock. Going through a long term break up… I needed this shit.
This is by far my favorite song of yours. It’s amazing, sweet, funny and heartbreaking all at once. You have a real talent for songwriting and I have no doubt that you’ll make it big. Keep doing what you do.
Zeeeees broooo! You are SMART! These lyrics were maybe the best lyrics I have ever read. Holy mahoney. Well done.
This song's criminality Underrated
I found this song in fb shorts. Now I am here and I'll be staying ❤️
Also I love your voice. Love the song. Keep it up
Good song man
This song has a very real sad vibe and it hurts that I can relate to every single word. I miss her so much. I feel less than. I wish I had done everything right instead of driving her away. I wish I could still see her. We’re strangers again.
❤
I think at a certain point in our lives, we all have been or will be there.
Beautifully written.
You make me cry.
❤beautiful I agree everything
This song just saved my relationship. Me and my fiance have been together for almost 7 years. We've been going thru a rough patch after moving and getting ready to call the relationship quits. Then I heard this song and started crying and then we started really talking about everything. It's not 100% but we are going to work at it. Thankyou ❤️
I've been writing music for 20 years. This song is world class.
I feel this song so much. Im falling in love with my best friend. We know each Other 15 years, since we are kids. This song is telling my fears which I have and why I am scared to tell her my feelings...
Keep goin! Beautiful Song!
Mahnnn lyrics towards the end hitssss
Sorry i have to get this out "I wish i could go back and live those days over and over again
Even knowing you would break me i would not hesitate for a second"
Thanks for the music man
You make people feel alive again❤
This is the typw of music i want to write on my ukulele
This is me and my ex's song it literally describes how I feel about our brakeup
currently 2 months out of a “never meant to be” covid relationship
it’s nice to know other people are in the same boat
This song hits hard
I can't thank you eboygh fot this song, I'm coming off a nasty breakup where u got dropped by every form of contact. We're truly strangers. Thank you for creating this I don't feel alone in my circumstances, like i know somebody understands
I come to this song often to think about some former friends and ex's. It helps me heal in a way.
Great masterpiece brother it gives relaxation to my brain and ears. Your voice have calmness which our brains needed the most in this busy world ✨❤️ your song added to my daily playlist 😌✌️
This is one of my favorite songs ever
Holy **** I'm vibing sooo hard, straight goosebumps 🔥❤️
Thx IG for leading me to this masterpiece
Really needed this song thank you
Peace......❤️
This song hit my heart in an incredibly emotional way. I lost one of my best friends because we tried to force a relationship when we should have just been friends. We were both way too messed up to be in a relationship with anyone. I messed up, & so did he. I was so hurt that I destroyed any chance of us continuing a friendship, & it is one of my biggest regrets in life. Your music is glorious, please continue to release your amazing work
I just found you randomly on Facebook 20 minutes ago at 1:30am and I’ve sent your songs to 3 different people from my past and I’m going down. You’ve sent me into a bittersweet tailspin sir. Don’t ever stop making magic.
Omg ur music is so amazing and it describes exactly how if feel and while I listen to this song my heart feels like it brokes in thousand pieces thank you 🦕💜
This is music. Abundantly and beautifully.
제가 최근에 들었던 노래 중에 최고에요.. 한국인들이 좋아할거 같아요 It is the best song among the songs that I listened recently. Koreans are going to love it
I'm not crying , you're
Not me crying to this song at 11:30 pm on a Monday to this beautiful music.
I keep watching this on repeat. I can’t stop listening to it. I’m currently crying to the fact that I relate to every word besides the COVID part. I just had to distance myself from my bestie and this is just what I needed. Cause every word applies.
Underrated
Had a good cry. Thanks
This is a great song
One of the best happy-sad songs
I fell in love with this song so bad (:
bruh when you left that pause after "option", I felt that man, hope you keep up with this music
I think 99% of us have all experienced at least some part of what the lyrics say. We live in a shitty world and make mistakes, and we're all searching for TRUE happiness
This is Awesome, Really enjoy this song. Keep going!!! From Cape Town South Africa.
This is the best song I’ve heard in this year idky it’s so touched
Oh shit.. This song really hit me hard. It's like you're describing the relationship i had. Wish you all the love and peace of mind 🙏🏻
You have no idea how long I've been trying to find a full version of this bloody song. And the bridge 🥺 You've got such a therapeutic voice. Gigs in the UK when you can okay, yes, Thanks 😁
You can totally convince yourself weed is good for your heart. Highly recommended. 😊

Lowkey great
I try to watch this video at least once a day. I think this helps me and gives me hope. Thank you
Damn dude. Banger
I can not stop listening to this over and over.
Just come out of a 7 year relationship, thinking that she was going to be the one thus song hit really hard. Keep on writing mate great song
Love this song. So much.
This song is my new favourite but would you ever consider posting the TABs for it?
Even just that slight riff to the first chord or two on the intro, I haven't quite been able to figure out what you did.
Should be pretty straight forward to figure out, chords are posted in the video description. Similar fingerstyle pattern to 'Hey There Delilah'.
