only wanted

i watched you growing up living

out the dream i had in mind

until i messed it up

making you believe in what was mine

i know i pushed too hard

to make you more than who

you really are

let's go back to the start

i know i went too far i went to far

i only wanted you to have

more than i could ever dream of

i only wanted you to know

everything i know and then some

i only wanted you to be more than

i could ever become

i only wanted

i only wanted you

so now we're far away holding on

to miles that separate still

waiting for the day to say

its not too late

it's not too late

i know it's not

what you want to hear

nothing makes up for all the

years i pray for the day you see

i tried to raise you the best i

know how there's only one thing

i can hope you don't end up

just like me
