Lyrics

I?m out here on the road. I?m with friends but feel alone.
I?m thinking of you, and the memories too of our lives.
We used to have so much fun. Now those days are done.
All the things we went through, yeah me and you - and I wonder why.
I lived to see your smiling face. Gave me a feeling I can?t replace.
The pain I?m going through, and all the bottles of booze - and inside I?m dying.

(Chorus) What I?ve been wanting has been calling me, it?s
been haunting me.
Should have realized from the start.
That what was wrong with us, hanging on with us was
not the plan we saw.
- and that?s what matters most of all,
what seemed perfect wasn?t perfect at all.

I?ve watched too many things pass me by. I figured once I could get it right.
The things I would do, just to be with you - I kept on trying.
In your heart I felt I held a place. You waited for me when I worked late.
My feelings for you, I realize now you never knew, or we?d still be trying.

(Chorus) What I?ve been wanting has been calling me, it?s
been haunting me.
Should have realized from the start.
That what was wrong with us, hanging on with us was
not the plan we saw.
- and that?s what matters most of all,
what seemed perfect wasn?t perfect at all.

I wished I?d always have you near. Now those thoughts just come in tears.
There was nothing else to do, yeah you were just being you - and I stopped trying.
The last time we said goodbye, your face told me all the lies.
You ripped me in two, still I?ll always love you - somehow in my mind.

(Chorus) What I?ve been wanting has been calling me, it?s
been haunting me.
Should have realized from the start.
That what was wrong with us, hanging on with us was
not the plan we saw.
- and that?s what matters most of all,
what seemed perfect wasn?t perfect at all.

(Chorus) What I?ve been wanting has been calling me, it?s
been haunting me.
Should have realized from the start.
That what was wrong with us, hanging on with us was
not the plan we saw.
- and that?s what matters most of all,
what seemed perfect wasn?t perfect at all.
