Everything I Wanted

(album: Lift - 2005)

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
