In this heartfelt ballad, Maren Morris reveals the emotional conflict of being in a relationship that looks ideal on the surface but lacks true love and connection. The lyrics explore the sorrow of understanding that despite outward compatibility, genuine love cannot be forced or fabricated. Morris addresses the painful reality of admitting she is not the hero or ideal partner her significant other is searching for, and acknowledges the guilt and sadness that accompanies this truth. ๐ She expresses a deep wish to reciprocate the same intense feelings her partner has, but ultimately accepts that she cannot change her heart's true inclinations. This honest and somber reflection highlights the complexity of love and the difficulty in letting go of something that isnโt meant to be. ๐
I Wish I Was
Lyrics
On paper we go together
I know that we look the part
But almost never hangs on forever
I know I'm breaking your heart
So go on, say what you want to
I'm not gonna stop you
You can blame it all on me
I'm not the hero in the story
I'm not the girl that gets the glory
'Cause you're looking for true love
And I'm not the one
But I wish, but I wish I was
Hmm, I wish, oh I wish I was
Hmm
Wish I could feel about you
The way you feel about me
But you can't make a heart say something
That it don't believe
So go on, hate me if you have to
I hate myself too
'Cause as much as I want to be
I'm not the hero in the story
I'm not the girl that gets the glory
'Cause you're looking for true love
And I'm not the one
But I wish, but I wish I was
Hmm, I wish, oh I wish I was
Go on, hate me if you have to
I still care about you
Hmm as much as I want to be
I'm not the hero in the story
I'm not the girl that gets the glory
'Cause you're looking for true love
And I'm not the one
But I wish, but I wish I was
Oh, 'cause you're looking for true love
And I'm not the one
But I wish, but I wish I was
Hmm, I wish, oh I wish I was
Hoo, hmm
Oh oh oh
