lyrics

What you wanted

Just a little pill to take away the edge
Something to turn down the voices in your head
A little help to push away the suffering
But now you really don't feel anything

No more highs and lows or Joy or misery
Just an empty space where your soul should be

Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?

A family man whose glory days are far behind.
He was flattered by her invite back to mine
Was it worth it for a shot a younger days
When life was blue and not just shades of grey

Now in your children's life you just don't play a part
You're just a shelfish man who broke their mothers heart

Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?

One day we might find
Not what we want, maybe what we need
or something better
losing everything for something better
losing everything.

It could take a while but you will work it out
All the money in the world won't ease that sense of doubt
We learn to make a living not a life
And following the herd don't make it right,
chasing down the latest shiny thing
and all the emptiness and hollowness it brings

This is what you wanted?
This is what you wanted?
