Wants (Not What You Need)

WANTS (NOT WHAT YOU NEED) - Written by Carroll Bryant


I saw the lightening 
I heard the thunder 
I saw you standing there
I sat and wondered 

"It must be now!" My soul was screaming
Pinch me quick someone, I - I must be dreaming 

It went by oh, so fast, but God, it took so fucking long 
It should've lasted forever so how did it go so fucking wrong?

All I ever wanted was somebody to love me 
All I ever wanted was somebody to love 
All I ever wanted was somebody to save me 
Forgive me if I wanted too much
I'm sorry love wasn't enough 

A gift from heaven
A curse from hell 
What did it matter? 
How could we tell? 

All that was spoken was a mouthful of lies 
Now we know what happens when two fools collide 

Was sex such a nasty word?
I know I wanted you, but all I got was hurt 

I feel it now

All I ever wanted was somebody to love me 
All I ever wanted was somebody to love 
All I ever wanted was somebody to save me 
Forgive me if I wanted too much
I'm sorry love wasn't enough

Here I go again
Looking at the girl sleeping next to me
And yes, maybe I got her but
She isn't what I wanted or need 

And I know you won't believe it 
But so help me god it's true
Sometimes when I look down at her 
I could swear I'm looking down at you 

There's nothing I can do 

Pick up the pieces 
I guess I'll try
I won't forget you
At least until I die 

Who is to blame? We both get the credit 
To slip away, how did we let it? 
Was sex such a horrible word? 
How can I tell you how much this hurts?

It really fucking hurts 

All I ever wanted was somebody to love me 
All I ever wanted was somebody to love 
All I ever wanted was somebody to save me 
Forgive me if I wanted too much
I'm sorry love wasn't enough 

I feel it now
