All I Want (Demo) Lyrics

Lyrics from Snippet:

[Verse 1]
Found a boy, he told me I was a star
He held the door, he held my hand in the dark
And he's perfect on paper, but he's lying to my face
Does he think that I'm the kinda girl who needs to be saved?

[Verse 2]
And there's one more boy, he's from my past
We fell in love, but it didn't last
The second I get close, he pushes me away
And I won't fight for love if you won't meet me halfway, mmm

[Chorus]
'Cause all I want is love that lasts
Is all I've seen all I'll ever have?
Seems like I always get this close
Are my expectations far too high?
The good guys are just hard to find
Try my best, but what can I say?
I'm by myself at the end of the day
At least I've got myself at the end of the day

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
