I wish, I wish, I wish

I could be what you want me to

I could love you like I'm supposed to do

Fuck you like you need me to

I know that's what you're hoping boo.

I wish, I wish, I wish

I could be the girl of your dreams

The one you fantasize about

The one you tell your parents 'bout

You take me and your niggas out.

But I keep getting in my own way

And I know that I'm fucking up but I'm really hoping to stay

I'm willing to stay, baby

And I keep giving my demons away

But please believe that ain't me, it ain't me.

It's my vultures

Baby it's my vultures

They keep on circling me

Circling me.

I wish, I wish, I wish

I didn't love alone a lot

I know you like me in ya spot

But I need room to roam about

That's fucking with your future plots

You see.

But I know, I know, I know

I'm never gon' be home to you

I'm never gon' be home by two

I'll never be this perfect glue

That pulls together what you choose.

But I keep getting in my own way

And I know that I'm fucking up but I'm really hoping to stay

I'm willing to stay

Baby

And I keep giving my demons away

But please believe that ain't me, it ain't me.

It's these vultures

Baby these vultures

Keep on circling me

Circling me.

It's cool, it's cool

I'm not mad at you

If you choose to lose

Your faith in us too

I'll be okay

I know you like shit your way

It's killing me

Cause I won't be

This cliche idea of happy

You know I'll be okay

You know I like shit my way.

'cause I keep getting in my own way

And I know that I'm fucking up but I'm really hoping to stay

I'm willing to stay

Baby

And I keep giving my demons away

But please believe that ain't me, it ain't me.

It's my vultures

Baby it's my vultures

They keep on circling me.

I'll never be the same after I been treated like the dirt you've left on my hands

The dirt I had to dig through to sell your records, to make your money to build your name

I hear the wolves dressed in suits selling dreams like bait in dress shoes

Can you hear them?

They showed their teeth

Like white pearls

Coated with meat

From all the girls

They liked to eat

I prayed I wouldn't see

These wolves hunting me.

They're running fast

See their feet

Those packs of wolves

With suits and deeds

Tempting the girls with pretty things

Just to share them piece by piece.

Can't you hear

Can't you hear them howling

Can't you hear

Can't you hear them howling

Ho, ho, hooo, ho, ho, hooo...

Ho, ho, hooo, ho, ho, hooo...

Can't you hear

Can't you hear them howling

Ohhh...
