All You Ever Lyrics
Hunter Hayes
Lyrics
You give me chances and I let you down
You waited for words that I couldn't get out
I have no excuses for the way that I am
I was clueless and I couldn't understand
That all that you wanted
And that you needed
Was a side of me I never let you see
And I wish I could love you
And make you believe it
Because that's all you ever wanted
That's all you ever wanted
From me, from me
Could I be selfish, or lost in my pride?
Afraid to be forward or just too scared to try?
Now I'm without you and it took distance to see
That losing you means losing everything
When all that you wanted
And that you needed
Was a side of me I never let you see
And I wish I could love you
And make you believe it
Because that's all you ever wanted
That's all you ever wanted
From me
Well, is it too late
And are you too far
To turn around
And let me be, let me be
All that you wanted
And that you needed
I'll show the side of me I never let you see
I wish I could love you
And make you believe it
Because that's all you ever wanted
That's all you ever wanted
Yeah, that's all you ever wanted
That's all you ever wanted
From me
Oh, from me
