I wish life was like a drawing
So that I could erase the past
Of yours
Of mine
Would you like that?
Because I would
I would do anything to change my past
So I sit here and say
Would you change yours?
Like I would change mine?
I wish life was like a drawing
So I could crumble it up
And
Start over
Start a new picture
With a new look
And makes people smile
Even if I don’t
I wish life was like a drawing
So when I final get it right
I can hang it up and be proud
Of my life for once
I wish life was like a drawing
So I could take the old one out of the trash
And replace the one on the wall
With the one I have with you
And appreciate it like I should
I wish life was like a drawing
So that when you’re in it
I love it
