All I Ever Wanted

Shinedown · Leave a Whisper [2004]

I lie here alone and wonder why

That I come alive, just before I have to hide.



'cause I believe I'm losing my nerve

But could I ever do better than this



'cause all I ever wanted was a place to call my home

To shelter me when I am there and to miss me when I'm gone

All I ever wanted was a place to call my own

Where stars may dance and sun still shines

and the storms feel free to roam



I listen if only for a while

But I can't decide if I'm aware that I'm on trial



'cause I believe I'm losing my nerve

But could I ever do better than this



'cause all I ever wanted was a place to call my home

To shelter me when I am there and to miss me when I'm gone

All I ever wanted was a place to call my own

Where stars may dance and sun still shines

and the storms feel free to roam



If there's a way to a liberty then lead me straight to it

If there's a path or a door I missed , then show me now,

well show me this



'cause all I ever wanted was a place to call my home

To shelter me when I am there and to miss me when I'm gone

All I ever wanted was a place to call my own

Where stars may dance and sun still shines

and the storms feel free to roam



feel free when I am gone
