What We Want, What We Get - Dave Barnes

Baby, we are lying here

Pretending that we’re both asleep

I can hear your broken heart

And every single breath you breathe

It’s hard to find the words to say

When we both hurt like this

So I close my eyes and pray

Time will heal what we’re bound to miss

No one can ever say

Why it goes this way

Sometimes what we want isn’t what we get

Sometimes what we get ain’t really what we want

Sometimes what we want isn’t what we get

Sometimes what we get ain’t really what we want

It seems for every one we win

There’s another three we lose

We’ve waited for the answer here

Only just to leave confused

You know you’re forever mine

And baby, I’m forever yours

I’ve waited in the darkest rooms

Ooh, waiting in the open door

No one can ever say

Why it goes this way

Sometimes what we want isn’t what we get

Sometimes what we get ain’t really what we want

Sometimes what we want isn’t what we get

Sometimes what we get ain’t really what we want

We’ve been so long wishing for things

We just keep forgetting that we

Got all we’ll ever need in you and me, yeah, yeah

You and me, you and me, baby, yeah

Everything we have, anything we got

It was given babe, it was given, babe

There ain’t a thing we need that heaven forgot

It was given babe, it was given, babe

Everything we have, anything we got

It was given babe, it was given, babe

Ain’t a thing we need that heaven forgot

It was given babe, it was given, babe

Everything we have, anything we got

It was given babe, it was given, babe

There ain’t a thing we need that heaven forgot

It was given babe, it was given, baby, yeah
