I Wanted You
All it took was one kiss
For me to know
It was goodbye
You said I wouldn't miss you
You said I was better off
But anyone that's ever loved anyone
Knows what words like that really mean
They know
To read between
You didn't care
You weren't there
And then you walked away
With my heart
I had no say
No choice in the matter
You said I did
But we both know
You were already gone
Before thre words had even left
Your sweet lips
You were long gone
And I knew it was over
Because that's the way
This game
Was gonna end
You were a train going off the rails
Whether I wanted to save you or not
I'll never forget those words
You said to me
As you kissed my forehead
It was just way too easy
For you to walk away
When you knew
How much I loved you
Needed you there
How much I cried
For you to care
And all you gave me
Was more tears
More questions
As you walked away
So I say goodbye
One more time
Into an empty night
A night that stands still
Now that you're gone
Far away from me now
Where you are
I'll probably never know
And maybe it's better that way
Maybe
Just maybe
You were also right
When you said
I deserved more
But the funny thing is
I didn't want more
I wanted you
