All I Ever Really Wanted To Do (Liars Edge)
​
I take a look at your life
And I guess you really think that you’ve made it
Learned back at school of the Golden Rule
And ever since you’ve always obeyed it
You never look at the stars
You drive executive cars
And you’re strong
You’re just so well-adjusted
And you’re popular - trusted -
Belong !
I’m sure its really so much better that way
But I’ve a problem with the things that you say
You’re a Superman (official!)
But you’re Mr Superficial to me
I only want to be
That’s all I ever really wanted to do
That’s all I ever really wanted to do
That’s all I ever really wanted to do with my life
I take a look at myself
Well I’ll never come up smelling of roses
One too many “Maybe tomorrow’s”
Too, too many “Just supposes”
But just suppose that I’m right
And it’s important to fight for what’s true
Well then I know who I am
And it makes me less fucked up than you
I think your scared to even open your eyes
I think you hide behind a fragile disguise
You think you know it all but nothing's what you’re showing to me
I only want to see !
That’s all I ever really wanted to do
That’s all I ever really wanted to do
That’s all I ever really wanted to do with my life
Well I want to give and not take
I want to be true and not fake
I want to be all I can be
I just want to be happy with me
That’s all I ever really wanted to do
That’s all I ever really wanted to do
That’s all I ever really wanted to do with my life
That’s all I ever really wanted to do
That’s all I ever really wanted to do
That’s all I ever really wanted to do with my life
