What I Wanted

Nelly Furtado

5

I turned my head away

Didn't wanna hear what you said

You had changed your mind

I showed up insecure

But I thought you would be sure

I guess I had a lost sight

[refrain:]

But at the end of my life

I'll look back on my life

I'll know that my life was good

At the end of my life

I'll look back on my life

[chorus:]

See I went after you like I should

I went after what I wanted

I went after what I wanted

And I never really got it

But it don't matter at all

I guess it was a lot

To ask for these things we'd lost

I guess it was just a dream

And time changes many things

But my heart it still sings

For you, I don't know why

But at the end of my life

I'll look back on my life

And I'll know that my life was good

At the end of my life

I'll look back on my life

[repeat chorus]

I thought I'd spend my last days

Holding your hand

of my senses lie here dead on the floor

[repeat refrain & chorus]

Everything else I lost it

I went after what I wanted

I went after what I wanted

And the rest don't really matter

It don't really matter
