Everything I Had Wanted
All I ever wanted was a family
 I wanted to be loved
 I wanted someone to care
 and I was scared
 yes always scared
 I didnt want to be alone
 I didnt want to be locked out
 or in the cold
 I just wanted to love 
 and to be loved in return
 she put her head down on my back 
 she was listening for my heart beat
 but she only heard the ocean
 she heard the ocean inside of me
 and who can say why
 she heard the ocean’s cries
 the doctor said I would die
 but two years later I am still alive
 if just for her
 if just for them
 I will try if I can
 I want to run again
 like when i was young
 they do too
 but thats not for me to choose
 I don’t know how much longer I will breath
 and thats not something I want them to see
 but it is true
 and I know they can see it in my eyes
 just as I saw it in hers
 the night she heard the oceans cries
 I wanted to be loved
 and in the end I was
 but when you love
 you stand lose
 so I’m glad
 that at least I didn’t have to lose you
