  • Wish that I could let you love me
    I should've stayed with you last night
    Instead of going out to find trouble
    That's just trouble (mmm)
    I think I run away sometimes
    Whenever I get too vulnerable
    That's not your fault

    See, I wanna stay the whole night
    I wanna lay with you 'til the sun's up
    I wanna let you inside
    Oh, Heaven knows I've tried

    I wish that I could let you love
    Wish that I could let you love me
    I wish that I could let you love
    Wish that I could let you love me
    Say what's the matter, what's the matter with me?
    What's the matter with me?
    Oh, I wish that I could let you love
    Wish that I could let you love me
    Wish that I could let you love me

    Wish that I could let you love me
    Wish that I could let you love me
    Wish that I could let you love
    Wish that I could let you love me
    Wish that I could let you love
    Wish that I could let you love me

    And every time it gets too real
    And every time I feel us sabotaging
    I start running
    And every time I push away
    I really wanna say that I'm sorry
    But I say nothing

    I wanna stay the whole night
    I wanna lay with you 'til the sun's up
    I wanna let you inside
    Oh, Heaven knows I've tried

    I wish that I could let you love
    Wish that I could let you love me
    I wish that I could let you love
    Wish that I could let you love me
    Say what's the matter, what's the matter with me?
    What's the matter with me?
    Oh, I wish that I could let you love
    Wish that I could let you love me
    Wish that I could let you love me

    Wish that I could let you love me
    Wish that I could let you love me

    I wanna stay with you 'til the morning
    I wanna lay with you through the sunrise
    I wanna show you that you're my only
    I wanna lay with you 'til the sun's up
    I wanna stay with you 'til the morning
    I wanna lay with you through the sunrise, through the sunrise
    Oh-oh-oh-oh, Heaven knows I've tried

    I wish that I could let you love
    Wish that I could let you love me (me, yeah)
    I wish that I could let you love
    Wish that I could let you love me
    Say what's the matter, what's the matter with me?
    What's the matter with me?
    Oh, I wish that I could let you love
    Wish that I could let you love me
    Wish that I could let you love me

    Wish that I could let you love me
    Wish that I could let you love me
    Wish that I could let you love
    Wish that I could let you love me
    Wish that I could let you love
    Wish that I could let you love me Writer/s: Finn Keane, Fred Gibson, Ilsey Anna Juber, Linus Thure Wiklund, Noonie Bao, Rita Ora
