All I Ever Wanted
Guvna B feat. Martin Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah man I'm in my bed it's like 2am, I can't sleep I'm holding fear
I can't be myself around anyone is there any point me being here
I'm a complex soul you won't
understand thoughts that cross my mind yeah
Would anyone care if I disappeared with no signs?
They say death is easy
Cos life is hard
You said you'd never leave me
So why am I hiding scars
I don't wanna hurt no more
I don't wanna hurt no more
Hear my words oh Lord

And you're everything I ever wanted
And you're everything I'm looking for
And you're all I ever wanted
And you're arms will always hold me
And they'll hold me till the end

I take one step forward
Then I take two steps back
I guess my past keeps calling
Sometimes I call it back
Ignore the fact that there might be something more
God might have one thing that he put me here for
The thing I was born for yeah
I've been going round roundabouts
And I'm dizzy now so I'm down and out
If there's more I wanna find it out
Remember days I was wiling out
I was living fake tryna style it out
I'm slipping back come help me now

And you're everything I ever wanted
And you're everything I'm looking for
And you're all I ever wanted
And you're arms will always hold me
And they'll hold me till the end

x 4

Good intentions won't save me
The gates of heaven await me
And I'm scared I won't make it

And you're everything I ever wanted
And you're everything I'm looking for
And you're all I ever wanted




And you're arms will always hold me
And they'll hold me till the end

ALL I EVER WANTED LYRICS

[Verse 1: Guvna B]
Ah man I’m in my bed it’s like 2AM, I can't sleep I'm holding fear
I can’t be myself around anyone, is there any point me being here?
I’m a complex soul you won’t understand thoughts that cross my mind, yeah
Would anyone care if I disappeared with no signs?
They say death is easy
An' that's 'cos life is hard
An' you said you’d never leave me
So why am I hiding scars?
I don’t wanna hide no more
I don’t wanna hide no more
So hear my words oh Lord

And you're everything I'm looking for
And you're all I've ever wanted
And you're arms will always hold me
And they'll hold me till the end

[Verse 2: Guvna B]
I take one step forward
Then I take two steps back
I guess my past keeps calling
Sometimes I call it back
Forget the fact that there might be something more
God might have one thing that he put me here for
The thing I was born for, yeah
Still I'm going 'round roundabouts
And I’m dizzy now so I’m down and out
If there’s more I wanna find it out
Remember days I was wiling out

Good intentions won’t save me
The gates of heaven await me
But I’m scared I won’t make it
Good intentions won’t save me
The gates of heaven await me
