what i wanted Lyrics

i turned my head away
didn't wanna hear what you said
you had changed your mind

i showed up insecure
but i thought you would be sure
i guess i had lost sight

but at the end of my life
oh the bed of my life
i'll know that my life was good
at the end of my life
on the bed of my life
see i went after you like i should
i went after what i wanted
i went after what i wanted
and i never really got it
but it don't matter at all

i guess it was a lot
to ask for these things we'd lost
i guess it was just a dream

and time changes many things
but my heart is still singing
for you, i don't know why

but at the end of my life
on the bed of my life
i'll know that my life was good
at the end of my life
on the bed of my life
see i went after you like i should
i went after what i wanted
i went after what i wanted
and i never really got it
but it don't matter at all

i thought i'd spend my last days
holding your hand
now how am i, since he's lying dead on the floor

but at the end of my life
on the bed of my life
i'll know that my life was good
at the end of my life
on the bed of my life
see i went after you like i should
i went after what i wanted
i went after what i wanted
and i never really got it
but it don't matter at all

everything else i lost it
i went after what i wanted
i went after what i wanted
and it don't really matter
it don't matter at all
it don't matter al all

That's a really beautiful song :) It's about when you are sad because you're not with the one that you love anymore, but still you know that you did everything that you could for him, you fought for what you wanted... That's amazing.

Great song! But the lyrics is wrong, it's not "at the end of my life on the bed of my life" the right lyrics is; "at the end of my life I'll look back on my life" :)

I just heard this song, and I love it. I think it's about going after what you want, and not being afraid, because you don't live forever. It's so beautiful.
