Wanted You More
Lady Antebellum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a call that never came
No I never, saw it comin'
Somethin' in you must have changed
All the words unspoken, promises broken
I cried for so long, wasted too much time
Should have seen the signs
I guess I wanted you more
And lookin' back now I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
All the nights we spend just talkin'
Of the things we wanted out of life (out of life)
Makin' plans and dreams together
I wish I'd seen, I was just too blind
My heart was open, exposed and hopin'
For you, to lay it on the line
In the end, it seemed
There was no room for me
Still I tried, to change your mind
I guess I wanted you more
And lookin' back now I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
Oh, I don't need you
I don't need you anymore
I guess I wanted you more
And lookin' back now I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
I don't need you,
I don't need you anymore
The lyrics of Lady Antebellum's song Wanted You More depict a relationship that has ended due to the lack of communication and understanding. The singer of the song is waiting for a call that never comes, and they realize that something has changed in their partner. There were promises made but left unspoken, and the singer cries for so long, realizing that they have wasted too much time on this relationship. Looking back, they realize that they wanted the other person more than the other person wanted them. The nights spent talking, making plans and dreams together were nothing but illusions as the singer was too blind to see that they were not on the same page.
The song also expresses the singer's vulnerability and hope for the relationship to work. They had an open heart, exposed and hoping for the other person to reciprocate their feelings. However, in the end, they realize that there was no room for them in the relationship as they were the only one trying to make it work. Despite this, they still tried to change the other person's mind. The song ends with the singer stating that they do not need the other person anymore, signifying that they have moved on from the failed relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
I kept waitin' on a reason
I expected you to give me a reason to continue our relationship
In a call that never came
But I never received that reason
No I never, saw it comin'
I was completely blindsided by your change towards me
Somethin' in you must have changed
You must have went through some kind of transformation that made you lose interest in me
All the words unspoken, promises broken
We left so many things unsaid and you didn't follow through with the things you said you would do
I cried for so long, wasted too much time
I spent so much time being upset and dwelling on the situation, which was unproductive
Should have seen the signs
I should have realized that things were changing between us
Now I know, just what went wrong
I have a better understanding of why our relationship ended
I guess I wanted you more
I wanted you more than you wanted me
And lookin' back now I'm sure
After reflecting on everything, I am certain that I wanted you more
All the nights we spend just talkin'
We spent so many nights discussing our hopes and dreams
Of the things we wanted out of life (out of life)
We talked about what we wanted to achieve in our lives
Makin' plans and dreams together
We made plans and dreams for our shared future
I wish I'd seen, I was just too blind
I wish I had realized that our relationship was falling apart, but I was oblivious to it
My heart was open, exposed and hopin'
I was vulnerable and hopeful with you, sharing my true feelings
For you, to lay it on the line
I wanted you to be clear and straightforward with me about how you felt
In the end, it seemed
Despite my efforts, it seems as though you didn't want to be with me
There was no room for me
You didn't have space in your life for me
Still I tried, to change your mind
Nevertheless, I attempted to make you change your mind about me
Oh, I don't need you
Now, I have come to the conclusion that I do not need you in my life
I don't need you anymore
I have moved on from what we once had and am no longer dependent on you

Preciso de VocĂȘ Agora
(Tradução đ§đ·)
Fotos, memĂłrias perfeitas
Espalhadas por todo o chĂŁo
Buscando o telefone porque
Eu nĂŁo consigo mais lutar
E eu me pergunto se eu ainda passo pela sua cabeça
Pois vocĂȘ estĂĄ na minha o tempo todo
SĂŁo uma e quinze da manhĂŁ
Estou completamente sĂł e preciso de vocĂȘ agora
Eu disse que eu nĂŁo ligaria
Mas perdi todo o controle e preciso de vocĂȘ agora
E eu nĂŁo sei como sobreviver
Eu sĂł preciso de vocĂȘ agora
Outra dose de uĂsque
NĂŁo consigo parar de olhar para a porta
Desejando que vocĂȘ entrasse arrebentando
Do jeito que vocĂȘ fazia antes
E eu me pergunto se eu ainda passo pela sua cabeça
Pois vocĂȘ estĂĄ na minha o tempo todo
SĂŁo uma e quinze da manhĂŁ
Estou meio bĂȘbado
E eu preciso de vocĂȘ agora
Eu disse que eu nĂŁo ligaria
Mas perdi todo o controle e eu preciso de vocĂȘ agora
E eu nĂŁo sei como sobreviver
Eu sĂł preciso de vocĂȘ agora
Sim, eu prefiro sentir dor do que nĂŁo sentir nada
SĂŁo uma e quinze da manhĂŁ
Estou completamente sĂł e preciso de vocĂȘ agora
E eu disse que nĂŁo ligaria
Mas estou meio bĂȘbado e eu preciso de vocĂȘ agora
E eu nĂŁo sei como sobreviver
Eu preciso de vocĂȘ agora
Eu preciso de vocĂȘ agora
Oh, amor, eu preciso de vocĂȘ agora... đ

You weren't supposed to break my heart this is not the way we were supposed to end up, you knew. I never wanted to feel this hurt again and you promised I wouldn't. And yet here I am again, listening to this song at 4am wondering where I went so wrong, balling my eyes out. Feeling almost numb I'm so overwhelmed with emotions. What did I do? We were so madly in love, weren't we? I can feel my heart slowing down and I don't think It can handle much more. Anymore sadness or
confusion or anymore pain. I have to keep telling myself over and over, I don't need you anymore. And looking back now I'm sure Its truly sad how i really did want you more. In the end It's your loss like they say because yes I am worth it, I am worthy of love and affection and worth investing your time in, I promise you no one will make you laugh like me. So in case your wondering how I'm doing, I'm breathing and alive so no matter what i will be happy with or without you that's for sure, for now it's hard and going to be that way for a while, my heart is so heavy and feels almost empty inside, Yes I'm going to cry, all thru out the day, and most nights myself to sleep. I know someday I will find the man that's meant for me. I wish you nothing but the best and I forgive you for breaking my heart, I pray for you and that you find that what or who really makes you happy and complete. Although you will never find a girl like me and no will ever love you like I did. I know that I will move on and shine again nothing or no one will hold me back any longer. No man will ever mentally, emotionally or physically beat me down ever again. I will always love you. look me up 5 years from now and I promise you won't believe how much I'll have achieved. đ

Lady Antebellum never disappoints. Even when I turn away from country for a while, I come back finding them still as my favorite. Their music absolutely speaks to my heart.
Danny Pettine
Esta musica tem o poder de fazer meu †tremer .... não me canso de ouvir ... linda cancão ..nos leva pata vårias faces do amor ...
kat spickard
Their voices are everything â€
Calamity Ganon
They are the best and true country band ever and I love this song!
Mary Bell
Mizuka Young there is not much autotune in their songs. That's why I liked them so much.
Michelle Elliott
Mizuka Young I couldn't agree more!
Drummer Schmittle
And a lot of these emotional songs don't even sound like country in the traditional sense. These types of ballads they put out are sort of their own genre in a way
