Wanted Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Painted eyes and empty streets
Taking it down
Selling perfect tragedies
Without a sound
Faded roses scattered on the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Tonight, oh

[Chorus]
I will be wanted
I will not fall from grace
Daylight has waited
Just to live upon your face

I won't be haunted
I will not sleep to bleed
All that I wanted
Has been right in front of me

[Verse 2]
Now that I, I'm coming to
Black from the fight
Shaking out the dusty blue
Into the night
And there will be no waving of the white
[Pre-Chorus]
Tonight, oh

[Chorus]
I will be wanted
I will not fall from grace
Daylight has waited
Just to live upon your face
I won't be haunted
I will not sleep to bleed
All that I wanted
Has been right in front of me

[Bridge]
All the hell just gets me higher than before, oh
Now an angel has come knocking at my door
To tell me I can fly

[Chorus]
I will be wanted
I will not fall from grace
Daylight has waited
Just to live upon your face
I won't be haunted
I will not sleep to bleed
All that I wanted
Has been right in front of me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
