I Wish

I never called you and now it's too late To say all the words that I've wanted to say The doctor said, "Oh, there's a fight up ahead" I should've been there by your hospital bed So it rains every day, oh, it rains every day No, I haven't got the words to say How I wish I was a better friend Before it was too late I wish that I would've been there in the end I wish I was a better friend I wasn't there when you said your goodbye and I Replay in my mind 'bout a thousand times I wasn't there for those rivers you cried I was always too busy, no, I didn't make the time So it rains every day, oh, it rains every day I haven't got the words to say How I wish I was a better friend Before it was too late I wish that I would've been there in the end I wish I was a better friend And every day, I wish you were here Oh, every day I wish Oh, every minute of every year I swear I feel you near Near me How I wish I was (how I wish) a better friend (better friend) Before it was too late I wish that I would've been there in the end I wish I was a better friend
