The End Soon

I just wish I was everything you wanted
I wish the devil didn't sour the air
You're like chalk on a chalkboard
Your toothpick stabbing in my foot

I hate myself for loving you more than you could love me
I"ve only wanted your hand in forever 
The slightest bit of red in my carport
I'm a fork in an electrical socket

I can't be the same without you 
I know the end it's happy 
It's me alone wishing you could have picked me
I'll be the memory in the back of your tongue
This doesn't hurt it's just miserable
