The past is history 

You can't go back and make it alright 

You never get to choose if you win or lose 

That's not how it goes,oh no 


I know I had it all 

How much more could anyone have? 

And now I'm tryin to find what used to be

mine 

Before I went away 


Chorus 

Everything I wanted 

Was everything I left behind 

I never knew what I'd lose 

And everything I needed 

Was standing right in front of me 

Now I know that it's true 

Everything I wanted was you 


How can I explain 

Looking back I know I was wrong 

I just couldn't see the forest for the

trees 

What more can I say 


Chorus 


Don't say all our bridges are burned 

After all the lessons I've learned 

Is there a chance that you could be mine 

Or am I wasting my time 


Everything I wanted 

Everything I dreamed about 

Was everything I aready had 


Chorus 

Everything I wanted 

Was everything I left behind 

I never knew what I'd lose 

And everything I wanted 

Was standing right in front of me 

Now I know that it's true 


Everything I needed 

And everything I wanted 

Now I know that it's true 

Everything I wanted 

Was you
