I Never

I never wanted to be left behind with you
Constantly striving, trying hard but never measuring up for ya
Oh I never
And I never wanted to get stuck inside this abuse
Taking all your sticks and stones and everything that you threw at me
Oh why me
You would tell me lie after lie
To keep me satisfied to keep me in line
You would tell me lie after lie
To keep breaking my pride

But I never wanted anything
I never wanted anything but love
And I never wanted anything
I never wanted anything but love

I never wanted everybody's eyes on me
Always scrutinizing, criticizing everything I'm doing
Oh I never
And I never wanted anybody else to get hurt
Maybe a little just to have a taste of all the hell I'm living
Oh but I never
You would tell me lie after lie
To keep me satisfied to keep me in line
You would tell me lie after lie
To keep me as your prize

But I never wanted anything
I never wanted anything but love
And I never wanted anything
I never wanted anything but love

I never, I, I, I never wanted
I never, I, I, I never wanted
I never wanted, I, I, I never wanted
Anything but love
I never, I, I, I never wanted
I never wanted, I, I, I never wanted
I never wanted anything
Anything but love

I never wanted anything
I never wanted anything but love
I never wanted anything
I never wanted anything but love
