The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We all want what we ain't got
Our favorite doors are always locked
On a higher hill with a taller top
We all want what we ain't got
We ain't happy where we are
There's greener grass in the neighbors yard
A bigger house and a faster car
We ain't happy where we are
All I want is what I had
Yea, I'd trade it all just to get her back
She's moving on, but I guess I'm not
Yea, we all want what we ain't got
We all wish it didn't hurt
When you try your best and it doesn't work
And goodbye's such a painful word
We all wish it didn't hurt
All I want is what I had,
Yea, I'd trade it all just to get her back.
She's moving on, but I guess I'm not.
Yea, we all want what we ain't got.
All I want is what I had
Yea, I'd trade it all just to get her back
She's moving on, but I guess I'm not
Yea, we all want what we ain't got
Yea, I wanted the world till my whole world stopped
You know a love like that ain't easily forgot
I guess we all want what we ain't got
Yea, we all want what we ain't got
