[Verse 1]
Tear up the photographs
But yesterday won't let go
Every day, every day, every minute
Here comes the emptiness
Just can't leave lonely alone
Every day, every day, hey hey
This second chancin's really gettin' me down
You've give and taken everything I dreamed about
It's time you let me know, let me know, just let go

[Chorus]
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was a simple way to get over you
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was an in between to escape this desperate scene
Where every lie reveals the truth
Baby, 'cause all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was you

[Verse 2]
I'd rather walk alone
Don't wanna chase you around
Every day, every day, every minute
I'd fall a thousand times
Before I let you drag me down
Every day, every day, hey, hey
Your new beginning was a perfect ending
But I keep feeling we've already been here before
It's time you let me know, let me know, just let go
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was a simple way to get over you
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was an in between to escape this desperate scene
Where every lie reveals the truth
Baby, 'cause all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was you

[Bridge]
Tell me, with so many out there, why I always turn to you
Your goodbyes tear me down every time
And it's so easy to see
That the blame is on me

[Chorus]
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was a simple way to get over you
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was an in between to escape this desperate scene
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was a simple way to get over you
All I ever wanted (All I ever wanted)
All I ever wanted
Was an in between to escape this desperate scene
Where every lie reveals the truth
Baby, 'cause all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was you
