All I Ever Wanted Lyrics by Mikhala Jené

The Missing Peace

2020

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
You been holding me back like a bus with no fare, yeah
We ain't going nowhere, private affairs
They lead to nothing 'cause you never cared
To give up wanting what you never need
I always wanted you to need me
[Pre-Chorus]
But I was wrong, I was wrong
To think I could be for you
I was caught up in the way things could have been
[Chorus]
(But I was wrong)
I never got the chance to give you
(Thinking you loved)
I never got the chance to have you
(Don't let me go)
(All I ever wanted) Yeah, yeah
(All I ever wanted) Oh
(All I ever wanted)
All I ever wanted was you
[Verse 2]
And I started so smooth
When did we get so rocky? 'Cause you
Decided that you could not be true and faithful like I was to you (Shit)
I gave you six years of my life
You gave me six years of crying
All of the buckets of tears that I cried
Not knowing why could
Equal to an ocean
Looking for a potion to
Make me stop wanting you
It's killing me that you couldn't choose
[Pre-Chorus]
But I was wrong, I was wrong
To think I could trust you
When you're tangled in the the way their bodies bend, yeah
[Chorus]
(But I was wrong)
I never got the chance to give you
(Thinking you loved)
I never got the chance to have you
(Don't let me go)
(All I ever wanted) Yeah, yeah
(All I ever wanted) Wanted
(All I ever wanted)
All I ever wanted was you
[Verse 3]
Since Carolina blues
Oh, I've been wanting and needing you
You make me feel needy, baby
I ain't even needy
I just need for you to stop
In your tracks, get on track
If you love me, then love me back
I don't know what you want from me
I feel like you feel like you want me to be something that I'm not
'Cause if I were you, I'd be happy with what you got
[Chorus]
(But I was wrong) But I was wrong, babe
I never got the chance to give you
(Thinking you loved)
I never got the chance to have you
(Don't let me go)
(All I ever wanted) Yeah, yeah (Is that too much to ask?)
(All I ever wanted) Oh
(All I ever wanted)
All I ever wanted was you
