All I Wanna Be

Theres a time when I wish there were no words for it
Theres a moment when I think its gone too far.
When I couldn’t get round to even think of it
I wish I hadn’t taken this so far.

But you said it,
I never wanted to hear it.
You knew I couldn’t bear it
But still you kept on sharing it.
I’ve got a fortified right to fear it
‘Cos I know this time you mean it
If you ever place yourself near me, its gonna rip my head apart.

Its all I wanna be.

Today I took a look at my possessions.
Piled up in a room I didn’t know.
This morning I woke up with no discretion
I wish you hadn’t taken it so far

But I said it.
I wanted you to hear it,
You took it in your stride
And now you’re disappearing
Its all I wanna Be.
(BV on Chorus)
I realise I’m nowhere near it
But I still grab my chance
I see the gap but I won’t clear it
Its in my reach but I can’t feel it

Its never gonna be the same
Its never gonna be that way
Theres nothing I could ever say
‘Cos every time I’ll do it my own way.
I’ve got a fortified right to fear it
‘Cos I know this time I mean it
If I ever place myself near you
Its gonna rip my head apart.

Its never gonna be that way
Its never gonna be the same
You can pin me to the chair and make me stay
But theres nothing I could ever say
To prove to you that its ok.
It doesn’t matter what you say
You can pin me to the chair and make me stay
But every time I’ll do it my own way.
