It’s not like I never tried
Giving it all I had
It’s not like I didn't give
all that I had to bet
all that I wanna share
It’s not like I didn’t care
Not like I didn't care
It’s not not like I never cried
Always wanted a friend
But any which way I bend
It doesn't matter in the end
Now I just need a night [knight]
Now I just need a prayer [prince]
I only wanted
To see you laughing back at me
I only want
wanted, want, I want
want…
It’s not like I never tried
Giving it all I had
It’s not like I didn't give no
All that I had to bear
All that I wanted to share
It’s not like I didn’t care
yeah, yeah, yeah
ooh yeah
I only wanted
to see you laughing back at me
I only wanted
I wanted, I want , I only wanted
want…
