You’re the monster hidin’ underneath my bed
And I’m scared to face you like a little kid
‘Cause it’s always breaking the dishes and punchin’ through walls
Screamin’ and fightin’, I cry in my car
Every time you lose control, it’s always my fault
But after everything, I wish you well
I hope you never feel the pain I felt
After all the hell you gave
You taught me to take the blame
Hey, you should be ashamed of yourself
And after everything, I wish you well
I’m tryna find the parts of me you stole
But your tendencies, they haunt me like a ghost
And I don’t know what I did to deserve any of this
And God knows I don’t know if you’ll forgive this
But after everything, I wish you well
I hope you never feel the pain I felt
After all the hell you gave
You taught me to take the blame
Hey, you should be ashamed of yourself
And after everything, I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well
I can’t stomach the fact that I stayed there with you
After everything that you put me through
Honestly, it would be easier if I could hate you
But after everything, I wish you well
I hope you never feel the pain I felt
After all the hell you gave
You taught me to take the blame
Hey, you should be ashamed of yourself
And after everything, I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well
And after everything, I wish you well
Facing the Shadows of the Past
In “Wish You Well,” Avery Anna crafts a deeply personal narrative about breaking free from a toxic relationship. The lyrics lay bare the pain of enduring emotional turmoil—depicted through vivid images of fear and chaos—but also highlight the remarkable strength it takes to wish an abuser well after everything. By likening the antagonist to “the monster hidin’ underneath my bed,” Anna captures the lingering effects of trauma and self-blame. Yet, amid the heartbreak and scars, there’s a surprising grace: she hopes her former partner never feels the pain she herself endured. This act of forgiveness and release transforms the song from a tale of suffering to one of resilience and healing.
