lyrics

Wanted

You took off to find the one I could not be with you 
I was settin up for good and you were passin through 
I don't have to linger to know each one of my scars 
just a memory of forgiveness and how soft you are... 

and how I loved you 
I truly loved you for who I wanted you to be 
I loved who I wanted you to be 

Sorry about the year we lost walkin in our sleep. 
Sorry about my nickname tattooed on your cheek 
and all the rum and the whiskey I poured down the sink 
and all the times after that I joined you for a drink... 

and how I loved you 
I truly loved you for who I wanted you to be 
I loved who I wanted you to be 

How come we can't just love the one we're with? 

I guess you loved me 
you truly loved me for who you wanted me to be 
you loved who you wanted me to be
