I Wanted Everything

by Jenni Marie   Sep 12, 2007


Knowing that it's become second nature
Hiding the deviousness in my eyes
Seems greed has got a hold on me
For now I'm living in disguise

Recalling when those words were spoken
When your world came crashing down
When you thought those words were truthful
Tears slipped down without a single sound

Unknowingly played right into my hands
Never did anything of which she was accused
It's true that she loved you without a doubt
Our accusations left her completely bruised

Never did I mean to hurt you
It's just that I didn't understand
Why you chose her instead of me
Why she got to hold your hands

Couldn't think of any other way
To get you to finally notice me
Had to split you both apart
For I had to set you free

Only now, my plan's backfired
You've found out what I'm all about
Now it seems you both detest me
Didn't think you'd figure it out

Spent many euphoric weeks together
Living in such beautiful shiny bliss
Only then you found out what I'd done
And told me that I'd had my last kiss

Went from nothing to everything
Then back to nothing once more
Now we're no longer even friends
Didn't know that I could feel this low

So now I'll apologize for what I did
Know now it was really quite wrong
I'm sorry that I told spiteful lies
When you trusted me all along

Just so I could get my own way
Was content to watch you fall
Because I wanted everything
Now left with nothing at all.
