Wanted

 

I found a box of memories

Photos, torn and bruised

One is torn in two

A million pieces of my heart

Lie inside that box

Next to your fake smiling face

 

And all I ever wanted was for you

To see me and love me

For who I am deep inside

 

And all I ever needed from you

Was to care and to listen

To hold my head up late at night

 

I still have dreams about you

(Or should I just call them nightmares?)

I wonder if you ever miss me

(That’s what I want more than anything)

I hope you regret what you’ve done

And I hope you see that I was the best

You can’t get much better than me

 

And all I ever wanted was for you

To see me and love me

For who I am deep inside

 

And all I ever needed from you

Was to care and to listen

To hold my head up late at night

 

I swear I heard you call my name

In the mall by the bookstore

Where we used to hang out

And I turned expecting to see

That smile of yours, and your face

What greeted me instead

Was just a nobody

And you’re still a faint, faint memory

 

And all I ever wanted was for you

To see me and love me

For who I am deep inside

 

And all I ever needed from you

Was to care and to listen

To hold my head up late at night

 

I could’ve cried a million tears for you

I could’ve run back into your arms

After you left I thought I’d never be ok again

Now I know you’re the one who’s missing out

Because I’m okay again

But I know, deep in my heart

That you will never move on from me

You are just, simply and wholly my worst memory
