Want & Need

I thought that I had told you what you wanted to hear
But the sins of my youth have grown up with me as I feared
I tried to catch you but when I came you vanished like smoke
I spelled it out but the words cut my mouth when I spoke

But it's not a need, I want everything
No, it's not a need anymore

I left my home when I thought that I knew the world
But it seems I know less than half what I thought I had learned
Am I looking for something or am I just walking around?
Should I keep it inside, or should these fears be spoken aloud?

But it's not a need, I want everything
But, it's not a need anymore

Is it my sanity or my vanity that makes me want this like I do?
Or do I need opinions from the likes of all of you?
I can't pretend that I am something that I am not anymore
I'm doing better now that I have ever done before
I can't and I won't live my life in compromise
I won't give up on being who I am until I've died
Died
Died
Died

Here at the start but now we're skipping to the ending
I thought you were pretending when you said you needed me
We called it love so won't you just stay here forever?
We'll face it all together, just you and me
Things were looking up but now I'm feeling down
Don't want to fall in love in someone else's hometown
I gave you heaven and left myself hell
No, I never could lie to you but I could lie to myself
No, I never could lie to you but I could lie to myself

But it's not a need, I want everything
But it's not a need, I want everything
But it's not a need, I want everything
But it's not a need, I want everything
But it's not a need, I want everything
But it's not a need, I want everything
But it's not a need, I want everything
But it's not a need, I want everything
