I Wanted You (September Remix Challenge)

I learned to live with quiet (quiet…) With space you never knew Years kept drifting forward But my heart stayed turned to you (you…) [Verse 1] I wanted you beside me In ordinary days I kept a place for laughter That never found its way I held your name like shelter (shelter…) A secret worn and true I shaped my days around the dream Of what it was to love you [Pre-Chorus] It wasn’t wild or reckless It wasn’t loud or new Just steady as a heartbeat Every road led back to you [Chorus] I wanted you (you…) Your hand in mine in fading light I wanted you To turn and see me one soft night I wanted kindness (kindness...) I wanted your faithful heart I wanted whispered love Where only we could start I wanted your kiss (kiss…) Your breath against my skin I wanted all the quiet things That never could begin [Verse 2] I wanted conversations Words meant just for me A smile that only I would know A hidden gravity I wanted your embrace To feel the whole world still (still…) To feel inside your hidden heart There was a space I’d fill Time never broke the longing It only made it real [Chorus] I wanted you (you…) Through every turning of the years I wanted you To be the one who heard my fears I wanted mornings I wanted nights that stayed I wanted love in quiet ways The world would fade [Instrumental] [Bridge] Maybe in another life You reach for me instead Maybe in another time These words are finally said [Build] But here I stand with open hands Still holding what was true [Emotional Breakthrough] All the things I ever wanted Led me back to you [Final Chorus] I wanted you (you…) Beyond the doubt beyond the fears I wanted you Through all the waiting years I wanted whispered love A world we never knew [Final Line] I wanted you [Abrupt final stop]
