What We Want, What We Get Lyrics - 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
