Opened up my heart
Start to feel again
Take another step
Now I understand
All the time I waited
All my faded plans
Every single tragedy was leading up to
someone that loves me like you
In a world full of broken promises
You were my portrait of truth
And suddenly I confessed

All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was you
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
All I ever needed
was you

It took a little pain
Why would I believe it
All I ever needed was you
Open up my eyes
Finally I'm seeing it
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
was you

I ignored the stars
Each and every day
Don't give them credit because
All they ever did was bring me pain

Waited for a love
I didn't have a name
You could call me crazy
But it's all that I had to keep me safe

And what if the darkness comes alive
and I feel like I'm staring at the sun
The shallow weak hush feels so right
It took so many wrongs to find the right

All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was you
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
All I ever needed
was you

It took a little pain
Why would I believe it
All I ever needed was you
Open up my eyes
Finally I'm seeing it
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
was you

I played a part
Acting like I knew just who you are
Traded every day that I can love
Anyone but you

I played a part
Acting like it's written in the stars
Loneliness was killing me enough
I said I can't make it through

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed

It took a little pain
Why would I believe it
All I ever needed was you
Open up my eyes
Finally I'm seeing it
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
was you

It took so long just to feel alive
