All I Ever Wanted testo

I can only say these things to you while you’re sleeping
I hear the hum from the wires and the sounds of the morning creep in
I lie awake and pretend you can hear me

You tell me that you’re scared
that you’re turning into your mother
I feel myself turn into my father
We could lie to each other like they do
and say we’re so happy
It’s easy when you’re young
and you still want it so badly

And I feel my heart pounding
And I think I might scream

I can tell you that you’re all I ever wanted, dear
I can utter every word you’ve ever hoped to hear
I shudder when I think that
I might not be here forever, forever, forever

At night you whisper like a ghost
and you look so shaken
You’re so quiet and small
and you tell me you want to be taken
I just never think of you as
the kind of girl who would say that
You certainly seem like
some faceless thing in my grasp

Your eyes so wide, your face so aglow
It’s the face of someone I don’t know

I can tell you that you’re all I’ve ever wanted, dear
I can utter every word you’ve ever hoped to hear,
I shudder when I think that
I might not be here forever, forever forever

All I can think is there must be a kind of rebellion
To arm your fears like soldiers and slay them

I can tell you that you’re all I’ve ever wanted, dear
Through the din of your breathing while you’re sleeping here,
You wake and you ask me if
I’m gonna be here forever, forever, forever.

Your face so twisted and your eyes alight,
I wanna tell you I can change you
when you cry at night.
But I’d be lying.
Love is defying
