Things I Couldn'T Get

Wanted to see a little bit of light,
All the nights
That I've stayed up,
They are enough
To fill my cup.
Right?

Wanted to have someone to talk to,
I don't know,
If I leave them
Or they let go
Of me.

Wanted to be everything that
They wanted me to be,
And somehow I lost
Who I'm supposed to be.

Wanted to have what others own.
Instead of looking forward to
What I could've won.

Wanted too much
Of everything I couldn't get.

Wanted too much the things I couldn't get.
