From the recording With You
Lyrics
I am a lonely man
I am what I am
And I wouldn’t wish myself on anyone
I’ve got a silver sword that cuts right through
Anything I don’t want to be true
And it hurts.... yeah it hurts me too
All I wanted was to wipe the years away
All I wanted was to hear you say
That you wanted me the way I wanted you
All I wanted was too much, too much for you
She said I could blame myself, for the way she was
She said she’d be better off dead
So she took a ride, she went suicide
There was a smile on her face when they found her that night
She knew I’d be carrying the guilt in my head....
All I wanted was to wipe the years away
All I wanted was to hear you say
That you wanted me the way I wanted you
All I wanted was too much, too much for you
What do you want from me
I'm all out of sympathy, now I'm wishing you’d stop breaking my things
All I wanted was to show you what I knew
I was hoping that you’d want me too I was hoping this was a dream come true and i'd spend my life making love to you
All I wanted was to wipe the years away
All I wanted was to hear you say
That you wanted me the way I wanted you
All I wanted was too much, too much for you
What do you want from me, now that you’ve set me free?
I'm wishing you’d stop breaking my things
Yeah I’m wishing you’d stop breaking my things
Yeah I’m wishing you’d stop breaking my things
