I watch you leave a half hour too early
Excuse my wrath
When you ask about Sunday night plans
On Monday night
I'm scrambling to keep it together
You're ahead of schedule
Go out of your way whenever there's something I need
Stay up too late
You wait 'til I enter the door
Right now I hate it
Hope my kids will call me out
For doing the same ten years from now
Wish I was more like you
Hold in my heart the best parts
Wish I was more like you
Idealism breaks me apart
Wish I was more like you
But we're all just human
How do I accept that truth
December time
Season of trying to be kind
I stand in line and ponder over what you'd like
I've asked before
You said you have all you wished for
The ultimate gift, priceless, but missed
Wish I was more like you
Hold in my heart the best parts
Wish I was more like you
Idealism breaks me apart
Wish I was more like you
But we're all just human
How do I accept that truth
I hope you know how much you matter
I grieve the parts of you overshadowed
My wins are illuminated by the light you fuel
Wish I was more like you (you)
Wish I was more like you
Hold in my heart the best parts
Wish I was more like you
Idealism breaks me apart
Wish I was more like you
We're all just human
How do I accept that truth
