Wish You Well/...Can’t Explain
[Verse 1]
I wish you'd fucking die
Those were the last words you told me
That was before you slammed your door
And broke my phone
I was like wondering, how the fuck I'm gonna get home
There's no one around, there's no place to roam
My heart's fucking aching, and my stomach's in a knot
So I call out in the empty street
But the only voice I heard was me
And your words replaying in my head
You might be right I'm as good as dead
I'm just repeating what you said
It's hard to hear the truth, especially, when it comes from you
Thank God, I'm over you, at least, I can pretend

[Pre-Chorus]
You can't stand me, still, I wish you well (Still, I wish you well)
I wanna tell the truth, but the truth I'll never tell
You can't stand me, still, I wish you well (Still, I wish you well)
You could never hate me more than I could hate myself

[Chorus]
Mix a little bit of this with a little of that
Watch what you give, 'cause you'll won't get it back
I finally got what I asked for
You can't stand me, still, I wish you well (Still, I wish you well)
I wanna tell the truth, but the truth I'll never tell
[Verse 2]
Another club, a different night
Pass the time, I need to hallucinate
To keep my mind from all these fake interactions
Why do these affiliations try to break my heart?
I'm breaking out, you're dreaming
I can't find myself, it's hurting me
Can't we just run from our feelings?
Run off the wall hit the ceiling
And I keep drinking these feelings away
'Cause I can't talk to no one

[Pre-Chorus]
You can't stand me, still, I wish you well (Still, I wish you well)
I wanna tell the truth, but the truth I'll never tell
You can't stand me, still, I wish you well (Still, I wish you well)
You could never hate me more than I could hate myself

[Chorus]
Mix a little bit of this with a little of that
Watch what you give 'cause you'll never get it back
I finally got what I asked for
You can't stand me, still, I wish you well (Still, I wish you well)
I wanna tell the truth
But the truth I'll never tell
[Bridge]
Yeah, oh-oh-oh, oh
The truth I'll never tell
Yeah, oh-oh-oh, oh
The truth I'll never tell

[Outro]
Can't explain
Like love, something I know little of
Yet, here you stand in front of walls I've built
How you make me feel forever in a single gasp of breath
And keep my pulse unchangeable
The fruit ripened, nature's patient
Awake at last, like the distant star in the sky
And every burning fire in your eyes
Lost is what I am
A love stronger than love, can't explain
