and I'd give all I have
to see you again
to hold you in my arms
and melt my sadness away
as I feel you lean on me
I've never wanted much more
than to simply adore you
and keep you safe
as you follow your dreams
not a care in the world, baby
I swear
that's all I've ever
really wanted
it's just
all I ever
really wanted
"I'd buy his way through life
if he'd spend it with me"
I said that about you once
I've never stopped meaning it
and every picture
every moment of your life I sample
leaves me wanting so much more
it hurts deep inside
I have so much fucking pride
but I'd give it all up
in an act of desperation
an act of need
an act of want
like an addict
begging for her fix
I swear
you're all I've ever
really wanted
you're just
all I ever
really wanted
for you to
want me
like I'm wanting you
for you to
need me
like I'm needing you
or even simply
for you
to accept
that you're a drug to me
I swear
it's all I've ever
really wanted
