“Everything I Wanted” by Valerie Quinn
“everything I wanted” by Valerie Quinn
[Verse 1]
spent all these years playing games
grabbing spotlights, made a name
lost your sunshine next to me
hustled and schemed every day
only to tear me away
from your perfect harmonies
[Chorus]
I walked away
when I should have held you
wide-eyed daydreams
left me so damn confused
searched for a place
with applause and acclaim
but it was never enough
cause you were everything I wanted
[Verse 2]
spent so many shining nights
taking in the neon sights
couldn’t see them light your eyes
you’re my specter, you’re my ghost
and I missed your heart the most
took too long to realize
[Chorus repeats]
[Vamp]
everything I wanted
everything I wanted
everything I wanted
all I want is
[Bridge]
walking barefoot on the sand
burned grilled cheese at two a.m.
secrets shared with microphones
your keys next to mine at home
I don’t need a diamond ring
if you’re holding my six string
I don’t even need the fame
but if you ask, I’ll change my name
[Chorus]
I walked away
when I should have held you
throw out my daydreams
I’m no longer confused
don’t need a place
with applause and acclaim
can’t say sorry enough
you’re the only one I want
can’t say sorry enough
can’t say sorry enough
can’t say I love you enough
you’re the only one I need
