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 [bad word] 
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 
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 [bad word] 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 
Opened 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
