I used to think that I wanted

To be everything you want for me

When I couldn't keep your promise

I broke your heart so I could break free

I used to think I really was

A miracle of no remorse

I wasted time on all the little things

Then shed a tear so I could grow some wings.

I knew once, I knew once, I knew once.

Blessed to the child in me that still needs mothering

Blessed to the father who told me that I could be something

I could be something, I could be something.

Another night, another question

Did you really think I wouldn't fly

To the place where I could belong?

How could you think I wasn't worth a try?

And after all, who cares what others think?

They flail around and find the missing link

I thought I want them, but I don't know who they are

I couldn't find 'em if I forced the charge.

I knew them, I knew them, I knew them.

Blessed to the child in me that still needs mothering

Blessed to the father who told me that I could be something

I could be something, I could be something.

Put your reign on me

Put your reign on me

Oh, the wildness that I keep

Still want you to need me

Want you to need me

Still want you to need me.
