Want Nothing More

Despite all of the mistakes you've done I wanted to be more with you I asked what you have ever sung you said you learned to make me swoon I think I've wanted more than this I think I never realized how much it is you make me smile whenever I come and want to cry I think I've never left unsaid the things I've wanted to not say I spoke them truthfully instead I wanted to not make you wait I treasured you and treasured this I treasured all the things you've done You've made us more and made us real I think it makes us more than just for fun I never asked for more than this I've never ever realized how often I have wanted this to be a truth that never cried I danced into your arms and slept I cried into your shoulder when you wept You never realized But now I make you open up your eyes I make you see what you have done The truth is that I've never been without you I am so empty come on out of hiding now I think it's time to shine, don't you? I wanted things to be so plain but really it became so muddied when the waters turned to flame I wanted you to not be burned I burdened you with my desire I cried and made you realize that you are wanting me for my true fire.
