Wish I Could Say Songtext
von The Proclaimers

I used to cry the blues, I could only draw or lose
I stored up my hate and I used it
As bait for the people I abused

Teachers who couldn′t teach
And preachers who couldn't preach
Who wasted our time on
Wasting their breath on people
That they′d never reach

Wish I could say I was better
Wish I could say I was better
I wish that it was true, and it was 'cause of you

I wish I could say I was better
Wish I could say I was better
I wish that it was true, and it was 'cause of you

I used to know the score
But still say it was more
Then every act or recorded fact
That ever went before


Believe me when I say
I thought I knew the way
To whiten the black and blacken the white
And change the night to day

Wish I could say I was better
Wish I could say I was better
I wish that it was true, and it was ′cause of you

I wish I could say I was better
Wish I could say I was better
I wish that it was true, and it was ′cause of you

Yes you
Yeah you

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I wish I could say I was better
Wish I could say I was better
I wish that it was true, and it was 'cause of you

I wish I could say I was better
Wish I could say I was better
I wish that it was true, and it was ′cause of you
And it was 'cause of you
And it was ′cause
And it was 'cause
And it was ′cause of you
