I watched you growing up
Living out the dream I had in mind
Until I messed it up
Making you believe in what was mine
I know I pushed too hard
To make you more than who you really are
Let's go back to the start
I know I went too far, I went too far
I only wanted you to have
More than I could ever dream of
I only wanted you to know
Everything I know and then some
I only wanted you to be
More than I could ever become
I only wanted, I only wanted you
So now we're far away
Holding on to miles that separate
Still waiting for the day
To say it's not too late, it's not too late
I only wanted you to have
More than I could ever dream of
I only wanted you to know
Everything I know and then some
I only wanted you to be
More than I could ever become
I only wanted, I only wanted you, you
I know it's not what you wanna hear
Nothing makes up for all the years
I pray for the day you see
I tried to raise you the best I know
Now there's only one thing I can hope
You don't end up just like me
I only wanted you to have
More than I could ever dream of
I only wanted you to know
Everything I know and then some
I only wanted you to be
More than I could ever become
I only wanted, I only wanted you, you
You, I only wanted you, you
