All I ever wanted

Why did it amaze you

when you said I could do

things that others couldn’t do?

And, how did I surprise you

when I asked for your birthday

if you wanted something blue?

 

All I ever wanted was you

 

Why did I have to call you

six or seven times

Just to hear you say, “Get a clue”

that I was just way out of line

 

But I’m fine

I’m fine

 

Watch your friends come over

without an invitation

Like they were your four left clover

and I was just another tv station

 

I changed

I changed

 

Fought my hardest for alone time

Just to share my thoughts with you

It was best I became a mime

Or something fresh, shiny, and new

 

You made me pray

Should I stay?

 

All I ever wanted

was to be in the mix

To get some kicks

And sing along with your crowd

All I ever wanted

Was to weather the storm

And help keep your body warm

Show the world I was proud

 

Shattered my dreams

You should have seen my screams

 

All I ever wanted

was you

ahh ~ such a sad notion ~ i mean, its sad that when you've done almost everything just to make someone happy without any return, that's love but the things is ~ in your poem the narrator ask for just a simple time for both to share somethings ~ a friend or lover to talk to ~ someone to console ~ someone that would listen and understand ~ this is amazing sir ~ well expressed my friend!
