Badly Drawn Boy - I Just Wanna Wish You Happiness Lyrics

Well, the truth hurts
The cards left on the table
That we set
And placed our bets
And the time spent
Remembering the things
We should forget
And not regret

But I just wanna wish you happiness
For the time that I was with you
And the rest

Is it true that
It's better to have loved and lost
Than not
Have loved at all
And we aimed high
So at the risk of falling short
We'd still stand tall
Right through it all

But I just wanna wish you happiness
For the time that I was with you
And the rest

At first the wall is much higher than it seemed
And the roots by now
Are much deeper than the seeds
But we could grow again
If we just tell ourselves
We've been through this before

Tell me is it strange that
I don't remember falling out of love
Yet the bolt's undone
And the storm came
Arrived without a warning
Unannounced, like a distant sound

Well, I just wanna wish you happiness
For the time that I was with you
And the rest
And the times that I imagined
Losing you
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause what you wish for
Just might come true
