all i wanted: 6/21/07
i should have known that you were nothing new
that all the lies you threw
just showed what you could do

i never thought that you would walk away
with so much left to say
how could you leave me?

but i can’t lie, i know i’m better on my own
but weeks go by, & still i’m sitting by the phone
i don’t know why i didn’t cry, it’s been so long
but all i wanted was for you to prove me wrong

you know, i never meant to get attached
i knew it wouldn’t last
you never should have asked

but i was so damn happy and you swore
that it wasn’t like before
and that meant so much

but i can’t lie, i know i’m better on my own
but weeks go by, & still i’m sitting by the phone
i don’t know why i didn’t cry, it’s been so long
but all i wanted was for you to prove me wrong

and as i walked away i tried to say
“i never needed you”
but i didn’t turn around
so without a sound you knew
but it wasn’t true

but i can’t lie, i know i’m better on my own
but weeks go by, & still i’m sitting by the phone
i don’t know why i didn’t cry, it’s been so long
but all i wanted was for you to prove me wrong

but i can’t lie, i know i’m better on my own
but weeks go by, & still i’m sitting by the phone
i don’t know why i didn’t cry, it’s been so long
but all i wanted was for you to prove me wrong
