All I Wanted

I know we argued,
But I thought if I went to see you,
It would make you smile,
Just for a little while,
Before you went away.
I thought you'd be pleased,
But instead you looked angry,
I felt you didn't want to see me,
So what else could I do but leave?
I didn't know where to go,
Tears falling down my face.
You called me and told me to get back there, so we could talk it through.
As I walked quietly up your stairs,
I went in to your room to see you there.
You looked so angry at me,
I felt so small.
The tears falling down, but you didn't comfort me,
All I wanted was for you to care.
Wanting you to hold me close,
Tell me I'm the one you love.
I felt so unwanted, so out of place,
I thought to myself "I shouldn't be here."
I took off my ring you had once given me,
Put it on your desk and said,
"You should have this back."
All you could do was stare.
I sat on your bed and once again the tears fell down.
I couldn't take this pain,
I just wanted to leave.
As I went to your door,
You held me at my waist and tried to calm me down.
I tried to leave,
I tried to run,
I fought against you with all my might,
But you wouldn't let me go.
I couldn't fight anymore,
As I collapsed on your shoulder.
"What have I done wrong?" I cried
"Why don't you love me? Why don't you care? Come on, admit it, you don't want me here."
You held me close and let me cry,
"Calm down" you simply replied.
I went to lay on your bed,
Curled up in a ball,
Leaving tears on your pillow.
You walked over and held me in your arms,
Don't you know thats all I wanted?
Later on, you whispered "I love you"
Don't you know thats all I wanted?
They were the words I was longing to hear,
Wanting to know that you still wanted me near.
I asked "why don't you just get another girl?"
You replied "I don't want anybody else."
All I wanted was to know you still cared,
I didn't want my head to be confused with so much doubt.
All I wanted was to be held in your arms,
Baby, thats all I ever want.
