Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't you know my heart is slowly dying Wanting you so much it hurts inside
What does it take for you
to open your heart
What does it take for you
to understand

All I ever wanted
was everything,

everything you are
All I ever needed
you to know
All I ever wanted
was everything,
everything you are
All I ever needed
you to know

All I ever wanted
was everything,
everything you are
All I ever needed
you to know
All I ever wanted
was everything,
everything you are

All I ever needed
you to know
