I wish I knew

I wish I knew

how to fall out of love

it would save me so much time

and trouble

I'd feel right at home

with the fact of being alone

I don't have to be

half of a couple

I would have more money

I'd recapture my youth

I'd look straight ahead

at the cold, hard truth

instead of you

I wish I knew

I wish I knew

how to be alone

instead I'm just

another stranger

who doesn't know his name

but knows that he's to blame

for being a coward

in the face of danger

I could be content

with nobody around

I wouldn't be looking

for love to be found

it's true

I wish I knew
