I Wanted It To Be You Lyrics

Inquisitions have no meaning

Just burning flesh and screaming

I wanted it to be You

I wanted it to be You

If there's a god, You were half her face

But it's facade if I have no faith

I wanted it to be You

I wanted it to be You

Sleep arrives like knife blades in eyes

Maimed and forgotten, You and I

Infested with suicide stimuli

I wanted it to be You by my side

But You didn't want it to be You, goddamn it

You pulled away but my eyes still hold you like our hands

You earned the trust of my darkness

But now my dreams are a barren carcass

I wanted it to be You

I wanted it to be You

The One that made me feel worthy of love

The One that made me feel I deserved enough

I wanted it to be You

I wanted it to be You

The One who didn't deny all of me

The One that could trust and rely on me

The One to tell everything to

Even mundane things seem to kill

The One that made life a colored vibrance

Your visage tattooed under my eyelids

I wanted it be You

The One who I can talk in silence to

But You didn't want it to be You,

So what fuck am I supposed to do

My hope is cirrhosis of the liver

I wanted it to be You, but I couldn't deliver

I wanted it to be You

I wanted it to be You

Softly spoken, you made me shiver

Your hair wisped in the wind. Whispered life into winter

I wanted it to be You

I wanted it to be You

Grief slices like a scythe at night. I apologize

For everything I did not do right

But this is the end as far as I can surmise

And I've got better things to do than survive

I wanted it to be You

I wanted it to be You

My anxiety ignites as terrors catch fire

My insanity thrives, I bathe in barbed wire

I wanted it to be You

I wanted it be You

These terrible lies I can't seem to smother

Ona typical night my pride start to rupture

My heart in my throat and I swallowed glass

Disembark hope for tomorrow's past

Sand slips to the bottom of the hour's glass

I wanted it to be You until my last

But You didn't want it to be You

Maybe you were too scared to let me keep You

Maybe too scared to let go and find out

Maybe too little, too late even when I shout

Telling someone I love them, an unending curse

Only drags me to the dirt and makes it worse

And I don't know how to fix this or see it through

And honestly I don't even want to

Because I just fucking want it to be You
