I Wanted It To Be You

I kept your name inside my head
Like a prayer I never say
I tell myself to move on
But my heart gets in the way

I was waiting for a sign
That you'd somehow change your mind
Building you a place
In the shape of my whole life

I wanted it to be you
I wanted it to be you
Yes, every night I knew
I wanted it to be you

Looked for your shadow everywhere
Like you might still be in the air
I tell myself to move on
But my heart gets in the way

I was waiting for a sign
Is it time to change my mind?
Crumbling in place
Is the shape of my whole life

I wanted it to be you
I wanted it to be you
Yes, every night I knew
I wanted it to be you

If I let your memory fade
Will it take my love away?
Who am I without the future that we made?
I know I have to choose
Between the past and something new
But it's hard to undo

I wanted it to be you
I wanted it to be you
Yes, every night I knew
I wanted it to be you
