I Wish I Could Fix You

I wish I could fix you,
Straighten you up,
Smooth you out.
I wish I could fix you,
Take my hands
and clean yours.
I wish I could fix you,
Mend all that's broken
and sew all that's ripped.
I wish I could fix you,
Embrace every flaw until
Pressure produces a diamond.
I wish I could fix you,
Smile
and see you smile back.
I wish I could fix you,
Wipe away your tears
and chase the monsters away.
I wish I could fix you,
Figure out what went wrong
and make it all right.
I wish I could fix you,
Laugh
and hear yours echo mine.
I wish I could fix you,
But I can't.
I wish I could fix you,
But no one can.
I wish you could fix you,
But you don't want to.
I wish I could fix you...
But wishes don't fix anything.
