I Want That For You
3 Pill Morning Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me I'm not the one,
Who keeps you occupied,
Your eyes, Burning through these thoughts I try to hide
I don't wanna let you go,
but I'm wasting all your time,
And I, Know this isn't right so you should
Save yourself
(Chorus)

All you wanted was someone who
wanted you too!
Does it make it easier to know
I want that for you!
Run away and escape the pain I'm putting you through.
Does it make it easier to know
I want that for you!
I want that for you!

(Verse 2)

You did everything you could,
but I saw the end inside,
I tried,
To keep these thoughts from filling up my mind
I gave it all I had,
but I lost the will to fight
And I,
I'm telling you right now so you can
save yourself,
save yourself

(Chorus)

All you wanted was someone who
wanted you too.
Does it make it easier to know
I want that for you?
Run away and escape the pain I'm putting you through.
Does it make it easier to know
I want that for you!
I want that for you!

(Break)

Save yourself
(I want that for you!)
Save yourself
(I want that for you!)
Save yourself
(I want that for you!)
Save yourself

(Chorus)

All you wanted was someone who
wanted you too.
Does it make it easier to know
I want that for you?
Run away and escape the pain I'm putting you through.
Does it make it easier to know
I want that for you?

All you wanted was someone
who wanted you too




Does it make it easier to know
I want that for you!

I saw ya'll in Dallas last night and you really blew us away !!! Ya'll put on a better show than the band we came to see !!! This morning I am on Youtube looking up all your songs and I have to say that they are all awesome !!! I love that your frontman has a sense of humor when he talks to the audience. He had us laughing as soon as he picked up the microphone and your whole band has alot of personality. I have no doubt that ya'll will be collecting a ton of fans at every show. :)

A friend told me about y'all since we were going to see you guys at the show in Dallas. I was told that it was an "okay" band, so coming into the show that's exactly what I was expecting. I was absolutely blown away by how well you all performed and over all are probably the best opening bands I have ever heard at a concert. I can't wait until you all start rocking your own concerts and when you do make sure to stop in Dallas!
