Lyrics

Bassboosa - Wish i Didn't - Lyrics


Wish I didn't miss you
Wish I didn't want to kiss you
Wish I did'nt
But I do
I was so busy concealing
How I was really feeling
I lost my way

Misery will miss you
And when she kisses you
I hope you don't recall
All the times when you were with me
Lay in bed and said you'd love me
Did it all mean nothing at all

Don't want better than nothing
Don't want something I have to cling to
Wish I didn't wish I was with you
Wish I didn't but I do
Wish I didn't but I do miss you
Did you just want to use me
Were you scared to lose me
If you told me the truth
Wish I didn't wish I was with you
Wish I didn't but I do

Just make believe
Not meant to be
I knew you'd leave
Wish I hadn't lived my life
As though existence
Was through resistance to you
I'll turn my back on you
I'll cut the cord
Close the book
Shut the door
We're just two words
On the final page
The end

Wish I never knew you
Wish I didn't want to hurt you
Wish I didn't but I do
Now I spend my nights crying
Hoping that your lying
How dare you

What you gonna do when i'm there at your door
What you gonna do when i'm down on your floor
What you gonna do when i'm asking for more
What you gonna do, what you gonna do
What you gonna do when i'm down on my knees
What you gonna do when i'm begging you please
Dont leave

Influential Music Videos

Kelly Clarkson - Walk Away

We liked this video because it was high in energy and fun. We had been thinking about creating a music video with some sort of karaoke in it but weren't sure as to how well this would work, but this video shows that it can work really well. We like all of the different locations used. We also liked the variety of long distance and close up shots.

Influential Music Videos

The Fray - How to Save a Life

We liked the varying length of the shots, and the mixture between shots of the band/singer and then the actors. The words coming onto the screen were different sizes, fonts and an original idea. The close up shots and the slow motion scenes were very strong in emotion. The overall video was very simple yet effective.

Influential Music Videos


Twista Feat Faith Evans - HOPE

We liked this video due to the bits where the tattoo becomes the next scene for example at the beginning when the camera zoomed in on the tattoo of the girl's eye and it became a real baby girl. Another example of this is when there is a tattoo of a cross with basketballs in, the basketball in the middle then falls down onto a guy laying on his bed who then catches the ball.
