“Everything I Wanted” Lyrics 

[Verse] 

I had a dream 
I got everything I wanted 
Not what you'd think 
And if I'm being honest 
It might have been a nightmare 
To anyone who might care 
Thought I could fly 
So I stepped off the golden 
Nobody cried 
Nobody even noticed 
I saw them standing right there 
Kinda thought they might care 

 
[Pre-Chorus] 

 
I had a dream 
I got everything I wanted 
But when I wake up, I see 
You with me 

 

[Chorus] 

 
And you say 
As long as I'm here 
No one can hurt you 
Don't wanna lie here 
But you can learn to 
If I could change the way  

That you see yourself 
You wouldn't wonder why you hear 
"They don't deserve you" 

 
[Verse] 

 
I tried to scream 
But my head was under water 
They called me weak 
Like I'm not just somebody's daughter 
Could've been a nightmare 
But it felt like they were right there 
And it feels like 

Yesterday was a year ago 
But I don't wanna let anybody know 
'Cause everybody wants 

 something from me now 
And I don't wanna let 'em down 

 
[Pre-Chorus] 

 
I had a dream 
I got everything I wanted 
But when I wake up, I see 
You with me 

 
[Chorus] 

 
And you say 
As long as I'm here 
No one can hurt you 
Don't wanna lie here 
But you can learn to 
If I could change the way  

That you see yourself 
You wouldn't wonder why you hear 
"They don't deserve you" 

 
[Outro] 

 
If I knew it all then, 

Would I do it again? 
Would I do it again? 
If they knew what they said  

Would go straight to my head 
What would they say instead? 

 
[Outro] 

 
If I knew it all then,  

Would I do it again? 
Would I do it again? 
If they knew what they said 

Would go straight to my head 
What would they say instead?
