It's about regret. It's about love.

Lyrics

I can tell by looking baby, you ain’t doing so good
And I know nobody in this world is understood
‘Cause you had wished me bad while I had wished you good
If I could wish back what we had, you know I would

But you’re too scared to show
Your genius on the radio
You think they’ll never get it but you never know
So what’s the harm in trying?
It’s better than just sitting and crying
I thought the whole point was the flow

But I can tell by looking baby, you ain’t doing so good
And I know nobody in this world is understood
‘Cause you had wished me bad while I had wished you good
If I could wish back what we had, you know I would

You know I would
You know I would
You know I would
You know I would

You asked me how I was, I said I’m alright
I don’t feel like myself these days but I can get through the night
You know what they say, out of sight out of mind
Well, I’d like to get you back in my life when you go the time

Can you tell by looking baby, I ain’t doing so good?
You should know nobody in this world is understood
‘Cause you had wished me bad while I had wished you good
If I could wish back what we had, you know I would
