everything i wanted
Bayza Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
Not what you'd think
And if I'm being honest
It might've been a nightmare
To anyone who might care

Thought I could fly
So I stepped off the Golden, hmm
Nobody cried
Nobody even noticed
I saw them standing right there
Kinda thought they might care

I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up, I see
You with me

And you say, "As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you
Don't wanna lie here
But you can learn to
If I could change
The way that you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you hear
They don't deserve you"

I tried to scream
But my head was underwater
They called me weak
Like I'm not just somebody's daughter
Coulda been a nightmare
But it felt like they were right there
And it feels like yesterday was a year ago
But I don't wanna let anybody know
'Cause everybody wants something from me now
And I don't wanna let 'em down

I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up, I see
You with me

And you say, "As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you
Don't wanna lie here
But you can learn to
If I could change
The way that you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you hear
They don't deserve you"

If I knew it all then would I do it again?
Would I do it again?




If they knew what they said would go straight to my head
What would they say instead?

Overall Meaning

Bayza's "Everything I Wanted" is a song that reveals the artist's deepest and darkest thoughts. The song begins with Bayza telling a story about a dream she had. In the dream, she gets everything she has ever wanted, but it is not what anyone would expect, and it might have been a nightmare for anyone who cares about her. She continues by explaining how she felt like she could fly and stepped off a golden place, but nobody noticed or cared when she did. This shows that she feels alone and neglected, even when she accomplishes great things.


Bayza then sings about feeling like she is drowning with her head underwater, and people call her weak because they do not see her for who she is. She confirms that she is someone's daughter and she feels like people treat her unfairly because of her fame. The song is a cry for help, but she does not want to let anyone know because everyone wants something from her. Bayza feels like she has to put on a smile and pretend that everything is perfect in her life when in reality, she is struggling. In the chorus, Bayza realizes that the one person who is there for her and not trying to use her is her partner.


Line by Line Meaning

I had a dream
I had a vision


I got everything I wanted
I achieved my goals


Not what you'd think
It was unexpected


And if I'm being honest
To be truthful


It might've been a nightmare
It could've been a bad experience


To anyone who might care
For those who are concerned


Thought I could fly
Believed I could soar


So I stepped off the Golden, hmm
Took a leap of faith


Nobody cried
No one shed a tear


Nobody even noticed
No one paid attention


I saw them standing right there
I observed them standing nearby


Kinda thought they might care
Thought they might be concerned


But when I wake up, I see
But in reality


You with me
You're by my side


And you say, "As long as I'm here
And you express "While I'm present


No one can hurt you
No one can cause you harm


Don't wanna lie here
Don't want to remain stagnant


But you can learn to
But you have the potential to


If I could change
If I had the ability to alter


The way that you see yourself
How you perceive yourself


You wouldn't wonder why you hear
You wouldn't question why you're being told


They don't deserve you"
They're not worthy of you


I tried to scream
I attempted to yell


But my head was underwater
But my mind was overwhelmed


They called me weak
They referred to me as frail


Like I'm not just somebody's daughter
As if I'm not a loved one


Coulda been a nightmare
It could've been a frightening experience


But it felt like they were right there
But it felt as though they were present


And it feels like yesterday was a year ago
It seems like it's been a long time


But I don't wanna let anybody know
But I don't want to inform anyone


'Cause everybody wants something from me now
Because everyone wants something from me currently


And I don't wanna let 'em down
And I don't want to disappoint them


If I knew it all then would I do it again?
If I had known all the facts, would I repeat it?


Would I do it again?
Would I attempt it once more?


If they knew what they said would go straight to my head
If they were aware of the impact of their words


What would they say instead?
What would they choose to state instead?
