i can't.

i wish i could say life is perfect
but it's not
i wish i could say that i'm always happy, always smiling,
but i'm not.
i wish i could tell you i never live in the past,
but i can't.
i wish i could act the way you all want me to
but i can't.
i wish i knew the right words to say
but i don't.
i wish i had everything everyone ever needed from me
but i don't.
i wish i could just forget all this, move on
but i can't.
