  • On paper we go together
    I know that we look the part
    But almost never hangs on forever
    I know I'm breaking your heart

    So go on, say what you want to
    I'm not gonna stop you
    You can blame it all on me

    I'm not the hero in the story
    I'm not the girl that gets the glory
    'Cause you're looking for true love
    And I'm not the one
    But I wish, but I wish I was

    Hmm, I wish, oh I wish I was
    Hmm
    Wish I could feel about you
    The way you feel about me
    But you can't make a heart say something
    That it don't believe

    So go on, hate me if you have to
    I hate myself too
    'Cause as much as I want to be

    I'm not the hero in the story
    I'm not the girl that gets the glory
    'Cause you're looking for true love
    And I'm not the one
    But I wish, but I wish I was

    Hmm, I wish, oh I wish I was
    Go on, hate me if you have to
    I still care about you
    Hmm as much as I want to be

    I'm not the hero in the story
    I'm not the girl that gets the glory
    'Cause you're looking for true love
    And I'm not the one
    But I wish, but I wish I was

    Oh, 'cause you're looking for true love
    And I'm not the one
    But I wish, but I wish I was
    Hmm, I wish, oh I wish I was
    Hoo, hmm
