SXMRXXT – WISHES CAN’T EVER BE TRUE Lyrics

WISHES CAN’T EVER BE TRUE – SXMRXXT Lyrics

Mmm…

Yeah

Look

I spent a lot of nights wishing on a dying star

Hoping that a dream could change the reality of who we are

I wished that I could rewrite the chapters of our past

Make the fleeting summer moments find a way to last

I wished I was a better man when you needed me to stay

Instead of letting my ambition pull my heart the other way

But wishing is a currency that doesn't buy you time

It’s just a pretty sequence of a non-existent rhyme

I look at all the letters that I wrote but never mailed

All the perfect versions of the plans that ultimately failed

You can have all the desire in the chambers of your chest

But the universe don't care about what you wanted best

The ground is cold, the truth is hard, the fairytale is dead

And I’m left sitting with the words I wish I never said

Because wishes can't ever be true, no matter how hard you cry

They don't fix a broken mirror, they don't answer to a why

You can close your eyes and pray until your knuckles turn to white

But the morning still arrives and exposes all the blight

Yeah, it’s a bitter pill to swallow, but it’s real and it’s concrete

Wishes can't ever be true… and I accept defeat

I used to believe in magic, used to think that if I wrote

A beautiful enough perspective, I could keep the ship afloat

I thought if I imagined us together at the end

The fractures in the timeline would automatically mend

But that’s the childish writer in me trying to play God

Manipulating gravity with a literary rod

The truth is you are gone, and you’re never coming back

And no amount of wishing’s gonna put us on the track

I have to live with the fallout of the choices that I made

Watch the colors of the fantasy completely start to fade

It’s humane, it’s grounding, it’s a brutal way to wake

But it’s the only way to heal a heart that’s bound to break

No more wishing for a miracle to save me from the dark

Just accepting that the fire burned down to the last spark

And it hurts to let the dream die, it hurts to let it go

To admit that I am powerless against the undertow

But there’s a freedom in the honesty, a safety in the grief

When you stop expecting wishes to provide you with relief

It is what it is

And it’s over

Because wishes can't ever be true, no matter how hard you cry

They don't fix a broken mirror, they don't answer to a why

You can close your eyes and pray until your knuckles turn to white

But the morning still arrives and exposes all the blight

Yeah, it’s a bitter pill to swallow, but it’s real and it’s concrete

Wishes can't ever be true… and I accept defeat

Wishes can't ever be true

But maybe…

Maybe that’s okay

Maybe reality is where I need to stay
