Everything You Ever Wanted

I walked the line

Leave it all behind

I've been waiting forever

Lets go back in time

When I could read your mind

So long I've been waiting

It took the seasons going by

To know its not my fault

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest

Tried to be everything that you ever wanted

I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter

Tried to be everything but you

It's been so long

Since you've been home

I used to wait up forever

I used to say a prayer

Wishing you were there

And I'm still waiting

You told me once

You'd show up

But I fell for that

Before I fell to pieces

Then I woke up

To no one,

Just a picture of Jesus

And a house left in pieces

It took the seasons going by

To know its not my fault

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest

Tried to be everything that you ever wanted

I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter

Tried to be everything but you

I wanted you

I need you

I want to believe you

I want to believe you

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest

Tried to be everything but you

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest

Tried to be everything that you ever wanted

I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter

Tried to be everything but you
