I Only Ever WantedI Only Ever WantedI Only Ever Wanted

I lead you out of the cage of your mind
and your free to

What happened to us
why did you run away?
Was it something I did,
was it something I said?
Why did you leave,
you didn't even try to stay,
we could have made it work
but no you had to go
was it something I did wrong?
In you I had found everything
I had ever wanted in a guy.
It came as no suprise to me
