Wanted You More Lyrics
[Verse 1: Charles Kelley]
I kept waiting on a reason
And a call that never came
No, I never saw it coming
Something in you must have changed
[Verse 2: Hillary Scott]
All the words unspoken, promises broken
I cried for so long
Wasted too much time, should've seen the signs
Now I know just what went wrong
[Chorus: Lady A]
I guess I wanted you more
And looking back now, I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
[Verse 3: Charles Kelley & Hillary Scott]
All the nights we spent just talking
Of the things we wanted out of life (Out of life)
Making plans and dreams together
I wish I'd seen, I was just too blind
[Verse 4: Hillary Scott]
My heart was open, exposed and hoping
For you to lay it on the line
But in the end, it seemed there was no room for me
Still, I tried to change your mind
I kept waiting on a reason
And a call that never came
No, I never saw it coming
Something in you must have changed
[Verse 2: Hillary Scott]
All the words unspoken, promises broken
I cried for so long
Wasted too much time, should've seen the signs
Now I know just what went wrong
[Chorus: Lady A]
I guess I wanted you more
And looking back now, I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
[Verse 3: Charles Kelley & Hillary Scott]
All the nights we spent just talking
Of the things we wanted out of life (Out of life)
Making plans and dreams together
I wish I'd seen, I was just too blind
[Verse 4: Hillary Scott]
My heart was open, exposed and hoping
For you to lay it on the line
But in the end, it seemed there was no room for me
Still, I tried to change your mind
[Chorus: Lady A]
I guess I wanted you more
And looking back now, I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
[Bridge: Lady A]
Oh, I don't need you
I don't need you anymore
[Chorus: Lady A]
I guess I wanted you more
And looking back now, I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
[Outro: Lady A]
I don't need you
I don't need you anymore
I guess I wanted you more
And looking back now, I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
[Bridge: Lady A]
Oh, I don't need you
I don't need you anymore
[Chorus: Lady A]
I guess I wanted you more
And looking back now, I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
[Outro: Lady A]
I don't need you
I don't need you anymore
