Lyrics

WISH I HAD YOU

I belong to the way you see the world
Got attached to the way you saw me
Had our future aligned just like dominoes
Too much space in between
Close my eyes, but what's the use?
'Cause my mind still dreams of you
All alone inside this room
Where you told me
Maybe we should stop tryna save this
So I'll try and do it on my own
But only 'cause I have to
Oh, I'll lie and say I'm having fun
When the opposite is true
All the words that I said
Couldn't stop you from leaving
What's left to lose?
I'll try and do it on my own
But, God, I wish I had you
I remember you asked if we'd still be friends
What a cruel way to say you're happy
Guess you moved on before you were really gone
Lying right beside me
Just tell me was your heart ever breaking?
So I'll try and do it on my own
But only 'cause I have to
Oh, I'll lie and say I'm having fun
When the opposite is true
All the words that I said
Couldn't stop you from leaving
What's left to lose?
I'll try and do it on my own
But God I wish I had you
Close my eyes, but what's the use? (Oh-ooh)
'Cause my mind still dreams of you
Yeah, I'll try do it on my own
But, God, I wish I had you

Ruel stops holding back: “Now, who gives a shit?”

Ruel stops holding back: “Now, who gives a shit?”

After years of being labelled a pop prodigy, Ruel is rewriting his own narrative. The London-born, Sydney-raised singer first broke through as a teenager, but with 'Kicking My Feet' and the upcoming 'Kicking & Screaming', he's embracing big feelings and unapologetic joy. Growing up might just be his best era yet.
