Tear up the photographs, but yesterday won't let go
Every day, every day, every minute
Here comes the emptiness, just can't leave lonely alone
Every day, every day, hey, hey
This second chancing's really gettin' me down
You give-and-takin' everything I dreamed about
It's time you let me know, let me know, just let go
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 lie reveals the truth
Baby, 'cause I all ever wanted, all I ever wanted was you
I'd rather walk alone, don't wanna chase you around
Every day, every day, every minute
I'd fall a thousand times 'fore I let you drag me down
Every day, every day, hey, hey
Your new beginning was a perfect endin'
But I keep feeling we've already been here before
It's time you let me know, let me know, just let go
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 lie reveals the truth
Baby, 'cause I all ever wanted, all I ever wanted was (was you)
Tell me, with so many out there, why I always turn to you
Your goodbyes tear me down every time, and it's so easy to see
That the blame is on me
All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted
Was a simple way (simple way) to get over you
All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted
Was an in-between, to escape this desperate scene
All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted (all I ever wanted)
Was a simple way to get (oh) over you
All I ever wanted (all I ever wanted), all I ever wanted (was you)
Was an in-between, to escape this desperate scene
Where every lie reveals the truth
Baby, 'cause I all ever wanted, all I ever wanted was you
