Lyrics All I Wanted (Thanks Anyway) - Allison Moorer

All I Wanted (Thanks Anyway)

I left without a sound
I didn’t turn my head
'Cause I heard a story once
Looking back could leave you dead
So I crossed out every word
I buried all the clues
Tried to wash away who I was
But I couldn’t get rid of you
My body bears your bruise
Your spirit’s on my tongue
But my memory tells the truth
All I wanted was your love
God knows you make a mess of me
Your phrases and your fists
I give it everything I got
But mostly what I’ve got is this
So here’s the bloody mark
And here’s what never heals
Ain’t there something more?
This can’t be all that’s real
My body bears your bruise
Your spirit’s on my tongue
But my memory tells the truth
All I wanted was your love
All I wanted was your love
All I wanted was your love
All I wanted was your love
I try to fill the hole in vain
I never can replace
Everything you took away
Everything you never gave
Thanks anyway
