All I Ever Wanted lyrics - Faith Hill

Open up my heart, start to feel again

Take another step, now I understand

All the time I waited, all my faded plans

Every single tragedy was leading up to

Someone that loves me like you

In a world full of broken promises

You were my portrait of truth

And, suddenly, I confess

All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted

All I ever wanted was you

All I ever wanted, all I ever needed

All I ever needed was you

It took a little pain, I found what I believe in

All I ever needed was you

You open up my eyes

Finally I'm seeing

All I ever wanted, all I ever needed was you

I ignore the stars, each and every day

Don't give 'em credit, 'cause all they ever did was bring me pain

Waited for a love, I didn't have a name

You could call me crazy, but it's all I had to keep me sane

Now out of the darkness comes a light

And I feel like I'm staring at the sun

The shadowy cast feels so right

It took so many wrongs to find the way

All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted

All I ever wanted was you

All I ever wanted, all I ever needed

All I ever needed was you

It took a little pain to find what I believe in

All I ever needed was you

You open up my eyes

And finally I'm seeing

That all I ever wanted, all I ever needed was... you

All I needed was you

I played a part

Acting like I knew just who you are

Traded every day that I can love anyone but you

I played a part

Acting like it's written in the stars

Knowing this was killing me

And I

I said I can't make it through

All I ever wanted, all I ever needed

It took a little pain to find what I believe in

All I ever needed was you

You open up my eyes

Finally I'm seeing

All I ever wanted, all I ever needed was you

I taught this heart not to live a lie

(All I ever needed was you)

It took so long just to realize

All I ever needed was you
