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.
