All I Want Is What I Do Not Have

from Are We There Yet? by GrooveLily

/

lyrics

I, I want to know what to do
With all of my thoughts of you
I can't let show

No no no I can't do the right thing
I tried, but I cannot bring myself
To let you go

All I want is what I do not have
All I want is what I do not have

One small particle cloistered
Deep inside of an oyster shell
Can make a pearl

How do you take that grain of sand
And by some small sleight of hand
Make a treasure for the world?

All I want is what I do not have
All I want is what I do not have

I want it all and I give it my all
And I see that it's all for nothing
I know I know
The worst thing of all - is it already almost too late
And I'll always want more and more and

Days are tumbling past and I
Am stumbling faster now
I can't keep up

One more runaround and I ask
Myself what I've found in
This half-empty cup

All I want is what I do not have
All I want is what I do not have
