Wanted It to Be You
[Verse 1]:
You weren't ready to love, and I wasn't ready to be hurt
I lost you and then I lost myself, and I don't know which one was worse
I told you you'd give up on me too
I find pieces of you in every song that I listen to
I want alcohol so strong, that it burns your name out of my throat
It hurts that you left me, and replaced me; it hurts that I'm alone
It makes me sad that I don't cross your mind
When you're the reason I lost mine

[Pre-Chorus]:
Our destiny was not written, but I swear my heart was meant to beat for yours
You took me out of my comfort zone just to damage me even more

[Chorus]:
I wanted it to be you
I so badly wanted it to be you
Until I understood, that you didn't want it to be me

[Verse 2]:
You don't hurt someone you want to keep
You do them right, and let fate decide if they get to stay or leave
One day, you're going to wake up and realize that you should have tried
And see that I was worth the fight
[Pre-Chorus]:
Nothing hurts more than a heart left wondering why
I still find myself having conversations with you in my mind

[Chorus]:
I wanted it to be you
I so badly wanted it to be you
Until I understood, that you didn't want it to be me

[Bridge]:
May you never have to go through what you put me through
I know you stopped loving me, but I remember I made a promise that I'd never stop loving you

[Chorus]:
I wanted it to be you
I so badly wanted it to be you
Until I understood, that you didn't want it to be me
