Jeffrey Gaines Wish It Away
It started off small
I never thought it would grow
It must have climbed aboard while I was sleeping
You know
Now I don't feel the same
My vision doesn't match my name
And all this time I thought I had it under control
Now I can't resist the temptation
And it calls to me each and every hour
And I'm faced with the failure of me
And I just ain't got the power
To make it go away
Wish I could wish it away
I was so blind to think
This never could happen to me
And I didn't really notice
'Cause it happened so gradually
Now I know that I've been telling me lies
It's getting harder and harder to disguise
I've gone and become the man I said I'd never be
Now I know I must change
But where should I start
There's so much work that has to be done
I've been bitter and mean
Got a low self esteem
And I'm reaching out to anyone
To make it go away
Wish I could wish it away
Wish I could make it go away
Wish I could wish it way
I've got to find a way today
To turn my condition around
Exchange the bad for the good
And be stepping on bright new ground
Take control of my life before it's too late
Before I seal my fate
I've got to make it go away
Wish I could wish it away
Wish I could make it go away
Wish I could wish it way
