B2 I Wish I Had Stayed
Grammar Focus: wish + past perfect / if only (geçmişe dönük pişmanlık)
In the Story
In Act III 'The Depth' of 'The Cartographer of Arkhe', the deepest regret: wishes turn back toward the past — 'I wish I had stayed'. Through wish + past perfect and if only, the longing for what is already done finds words; so Week 14 closes.

Lyrics
English
I wish I had stayed one more day I wish I hadn't walked away I wish I had told you the truth I wish I'd held on to my youth (If only, if only...) If only I had seen the sign If only I had made you mine I wish I had stayed I wish I had known I wish I had said I wish I'd come home I wish I had stayed I wish I had listened to your voice I wish I had made a different choice I wish I hadn't lost the way I wish I'd had the words to say If only I had taken your hand If only I had understood the land I wish I had opened up my heart I wish we'd never been apart Had stayed. If only. Wish I had. The past is written, good and bad. I wish I had stayed one more day.

Keşke işareti görseydim Keşke seni benim yapsaydım Keşke kalsaydım Keşke bilseydim Keşke söyleseydim Keşke eve dönseydim Keşke kalsaydım Keşke sesini dinleseydim Keşke farklı bir seçim yapsaydım Keşke yolu kaybetmeseydim Keşke söyleyecek sözlerim olsaydı Keşke elini tutsaydım Keşke bu diyarı anlasaydım Keşke kalbimi açsaydım Keşke hiç ayrılmasaydık Kalmak. Keşke. Keşke kalsaydım. Geçmiş yazılmış, iyisiyle kötüsüyle. Keşke bir gün daha kalsaydım.
