Nothing that you say will release you. Nothing that you pray would forgive you. Nothing's what your words mean to me. Something that you did will destroy you. Something that you said will stay with me. Long after you're dead and gone. CHORUS:. If flesh could crawl my skin would fall. From off my bones and run away from here. As far from God as heaven is wide. As far from God as angels can fly. If holy is as holy does. This house will burn straight down to hell. And take its conscience with it as it falls. Nothing said could change the fact. My trust was blind you broke the pact. If God's my witness God must be blind. CHORUS. I wish...I wish...I wish...I wish. Take it back I dare you take it back. No you can't you should have thought of that. What's inside a man that goes so wrong?. Choke on guilt that's far too good for you. Say one word I'll laugh and bury you. Leave you in the place where you left me. CHORUS. I wish I could fly. As angels can fly.
