I Wanted You

Sometimes, as women we just want you to put in as much effort to keep us as you did to get us. We want you to make it hard for us to walk away. We want you to realize what you have before it becomes what you had. Is that too much to ask???

I Wanted You...

I wanted to you to love me like you were afraid of one day losing me 

I thought you would put a lock on my heart and only you held the master key 

And when I told you it was best for us to call it quits you would disagree 

Because life without me made you sick to your stomach and left you feeling crappy 


I wanted you to confess your love and convince me to stay 

I thought you would open up to me and put all your feelings on display 

And you would tell me that you were ready to compromise and meet me halfway 

Because life without me was like trying to catch your breath with a clogged airway 


I wanted you to look me in my eyes and see the love I had for you 

I didn't think you would give up so easy and we would pull through 

And everything I wanted for us I thought you would want too 

Because our love and the love you had for me was tried and true 


I wanted you to at least give us a try 

I thought we had a connection and shared a chemistry that was hard to deny 

And even after the ups and downs it wouldn't feel right to just say good bye 

Because life without me would tear you apart leaving you empty with a void that only I could occupy 


I wanted you to give me everything that I gave you in return 

I thought you would see how I was hurting without you and be overtaken with concern 

And the more days we spent apart not talking, the more for me your heart would yearn 

Because life without me was a lesson too hard to face and impossible to learn 


I wanted you to want me the way I wanted you 

I thought when my heart shattered in pieces you would put it back together, you would be my glue 

And tell me that the decision to leave was one neither of us really wanted to do 

Because life without me is a bad case of heartache that you weren't trying to cut into 


I didn't want a perfect love I just wanted a love that didn't deceive 

And you would tell me in what we had you still believe 

Because life without me was a death you weren't ready to grieve 

I just wanted you to fight for me!
