Wish You the Best Lyrics

[Verse 1] I miss knowing what you're thinking And hearing how your day has been Do you think you could tell me everything, darling? But leave out every part about him Right now, you're probably by the ocean While I'm still out here in the rain With every day that passes by since we've spoken It's like Glasgow gets farther from LA [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it's supposed to be this way [Chorus] But, oh, my love I wanna say, "I miss the green in your eyes" And when I said we could be friends, guess I lied I wanna say, "I wish that you never left" Oh, but instead, I only wish you the best I wanna say, "Without you, everything's wrong" And you were everything I need all along I wanna say, "I wish that you never left" Oh, but instead, I only wish you the best [Verse 2] Well, I can't help but notice You seem happier than ever now And I guess that I should tell you I'm sorry It seems I was the problem somehow See Lewis Capaldi Live Get tickets as low as $24 You might also like un x100to Grupo Frontera & Bad Bunny Boat Ed Sheeran Princess Diana Ice Spice & Nicki Minaj [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I only brought you down [Chorus] But, oh, my love I wanna say, "I miss the green in your eyes" And when I said we could be friends, guess I lied I wanna say, "I wish that you never left" Oh, but instead, I only wish you the best I wanna say, "Without you, everything's wrong" And you were everything I need all along I wanna say, "I wish that you never left" Oh, but instead, I only wish you the best [Bridge] But, oh, my love Oh, woah Oh, my love Oh, woah [Chorus] Wish I could say it's something I really mean But I want you happy whether or not it's with me I wanna say, "I wish that you never left" Oh, but instead, I only wish you the best I wanna say, "Without you, everything's wrong" And you were everything I need all along I wanna say, "I wish that you never left" Oh, but instead, I only wish you the best
