Everything I Wanted
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.
The past is history
You can't go back and make it alright
You never get to choose if you win or lose
That's not how it goes,oh no
I know I had it all
How much more could anyone have?
And now I'm tryin to find what used to be
mine
Before I went away
Chorus
Everything I wanted
Was everything I left behind
I never knew what I'd lose
And everything I needed
Was standing right in front of me
Now I know that it's true
Everything I wanted was you
How can I explain
Looking back I know I was wrong
I just couldn't see the forest for the
trees
What more can I say
Chorus
Don't say all our bridges are burned
After all the lessons I've learned
Is there a chance that you could be mine
Or am I wasting my time
Everything I wanted
Everything I dreamed about
Was everything I aready had
Chorus
Everything I wanted
Was everything I left behind
I never knew what I'd lose
And everything I wanted
Was standing right in front of me
Now I know that it's true
Everything I needed
And everything I wanted
Now I know that it's true
Everything I wanted
Was you
