Mariah Carey - I Only Wanted








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


Oh

I only wanted you to be

The one to get me through that night

I only wanted you

To be there when I

Doesn't it ever stay?

I only wanted you to

Stay
