One day you'll see
Things aren't as bad as you made them out to be
And you'll know when I'm long gone
You should have listened to me all along

And you'll call some sad night
Tryin' to tell me that I was right
And I'll hear you plead til the breaking sun
But I'll have to say sorry darling, but I've found someone

Don't tell me that it's wishful thinking
When it's all I've got to keep from sinking down

Things change somehow
That's all there is to go on right now
And I'll try not to laugh
When you get down on your knees on your behalf

Don't tell me that it's wishful thinking
When it's all I've got to keep from sinking down

You didn't care, it was no big deal
But now you're startin' to see the way I feel
And your life's no fun
And now you're tryin' to tell me I was the only one

You'll cry "it's you I need to hold"
You should have thought that through when you left me out in the cold
And you'll try to sleep, but you'll lie awake
In the bed you made for yourself and it's hard to take

Don't tell me that it's wishful thinking
When it's all I've got to keep from sinking down

Don't tell me that it's wishful thinking
When it's all I've got to keep from sinking down
