All I Ever Wanted

All I ever wanted

was someone to care about me

someone to cherish me

someone to love me for who I am



All I ever wanted

Was something to take ahold of

something to never let go of

something to show me that love is no silly game



I am crying

I am trying

I am reaching out so far

I am tryin to be the everything

I once said I would be for you



I am feeling restless

There will be no sleep again tonight

Not till I hold you in my arms

Not till I tell you everything

Will be alright



It'll be alright

This I promise to you

I promise you it'll be alright



All I ever wanted

Was someone to hold in my arm

someone to whisper sweet nothings in my ear

right before I shut off the light



All I ever really wanted

Was someone to share my life with

someone to hear my thought and dreams

and I'm sorry but I chose you to be my everything



I am reaching

I am preaching

I am telling you that I am here

I am trying to be the everything

Like I said to make everything alright



I'm feeling selfless

As if I don't exist anymore

All I see is me and you

holding hands, kissing, and walking out that door

together



Everything had better

work out like it should

but what it could

and what it should

are only defined right now between me and you



It'll be alright

Just stay with me tonigh

I will let you be the one

To whisper sweet things in my ear

Tonigh
