Allison Moorer - All I Wanted (Thanks Anyway) Lyrics

I left without a sound
I didn't turn my head
Cause I heard a story once
Looking back could leave you dead
So I crossed out every word
I buried all the clues
Tried to wash away who I was
But I couldn't get rid of you

My body bears your bruise
Your spirit's on my tongue
But my memory tells the truth
All I wanted was your love
All I wanted was your love

God knows you made a mess of me
Your phrases and your fists
I give it everything I got
But mostly what I've got is this
So here's the bloody mark
And here's what never heals
Ain't there something more
This can't be all that's real

I try to fill the hole in vain
I never can replace
Everything you took away
Everything you never gave
Thanks anyway
