I Only Wanted Lyrics - Charmbracelet - Mariah Carey

Doesn't it ever stay 

Must it always fade away 

Couldn't love ever be 

Something tangible and real 

Farewell, fairweather friend 

Abandonment returns to taunt me again 

I only wanted you to stay 

Linger and mean the words you said 

Foolishly I romanticized 

Someone was saving my life 

For the first time 

I only wanted you to be there when I 

Opened up my eyes

I was caught in your masquerade 

Wish I'd stayed beneath my veil 

But it just seemed so easy to 

Open up myself to you 

Once more into the wind 

The embers scatter 

And the chill settles in 

I only wanted you to stay 

Linger and mean the words you said 

Foolishly I romanticized 

Someone was saving my life 

For the first time 

I only wanted you to be there when I 

Opened up my eyes 

Oh 

I only wanted you to stay 

Linger and mean the words you said 

Foolishly I romanticized 

Someone was saving my life 

For the first time 

I only wanted you to be 

The one to get me through that night 

I only wanted you 

To be there when I 

Opened up my eyes 

Oh 

Doesn't it ever stay? 

I only wanted you to 

Stay
