All I Ever Wanted

"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 law reveals the truth
Baby 'cause all I ever wanted, all I ever wanted was you."

"Cause I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all"

At least the pain means that something was there inside of you. It was not all a lie that you conjured up and fed to them. Love is painful and glorious simultaneously. Sometimes the pain outweighs the glories and the love dies.
