The past is history
You can't go back and make it alright
You never get to choose if you win or lose
That's not how it goes, oh no
I know I had it all
How much more could anyone have?
And now I'm tryin to find what used to be mine
Before I went away
[Chorus]
Everything I wanted
Was everything I left behind
I never knew what I'd lose
And everything I needed
Was standing right in front of me
Now I know that it's true
Everything I wanted was you
How can I explain
Looking back I know I was wrong
I just couldn't see the forest for the trees
What more can I say
[Chorus]
Don't say all our bridges are burned
After all the lessons I've learned
Is there a chance that you could be mine
Or am I wasting my time
Everything I wanted
Everything I dreamed about
Was everything I already had
Everything I wanted
Was everything I left behind
I never knew what I'd lose
And everything I wanted
Was standing right in front of me
Now I know that it's true
Everything I needed
And everything I wanted
Now I know that it's true
Everything I wanted
Was you
