N. Greg Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I seen your shadow in my room
It was on my wall pointing at a picture of you and I began to cry
I thought of all the times that we had to together, that we had spent together
Girl, it's a damn shame that we weren't meant to be together
You were my sunshine, you were my kind of weather and yeah, we had our differences
We had our arguments
The day you left me you had tears in your eyes and said
All I want

All I want
All I want is your love, you never say it
All I want
All I want
All I want is your love, you never say it
All I want
All I want
All I want is your love, you never say it
You never say it
You never say it
You never say it
So now I sleep all alone, have no one call
I'm sending you texts cause you won't pick up the phone
I said I'm sorry and that I miss you
You said I'm sorry but I don't know you
Well girl I fucked up, I really messed up
Can we talk about this please, just the two of us
I know we had our differences
We had our arguments
I really hate that you had tears in your eyes and said
All I want
All I want
All I want is your love, you never say it
All I want
All I want
All I want is your love, you never say it
All I want
All I want
All I want is your love, you never say it
You never say it
You never say it
You never say it
All I want
All I want
All I want is your love, you never say it
All I want
All I want
All I want is your love, you never say it
All I want
All I want
All I want is your love, you never say it
You never say it

You never say it
You never say it
