Wanted You More

Lady Antebellum · Own The Night [2011]

I kept waitin' on a reason

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.

Now I know, just what went wrong.

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 spent 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 put it on the line.

But 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.

Ohhh, 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 you,

I don't need you anymore.
