You want to know what I want
I no longer have a reason to be chalant
Time has been a wheeler dealer
I gambled on love and was tossed aside
Feelings of loneliness ate at any sense of pride
And you ask what I want
So I'll tell you
I want to be truly loved
Not just told
I want the action and the words to unfold
I want the smiles and laughs
I want to be held even when it's stone cold
I want to be cared about not mocked and laughed about
I want someone's heart and soul
I want to make dreams and grow old
I don't want the next best car I've often been sold
If that seems harsh I can't be sorry
Maybe you aren't meant to play that part
This time I won't just settle and plaster on a smile
I've walked for miles
I've battled so many trials
So pardon me for not just being willing to settle for the next best thing
The thing is I've always been willing to give my everything
I expect the same back
And I will not just look back and wish
If you can do all that and be honest
I will be your everything
And in turn care for you
And share every part of my heart
I won't just pretend and play a part
I will be your soul and your heart
I will make you warm and be your hearth
