I watched you growing up
Living out the dream I had in mind
Until I messed it up
Making you believe in what was mineI 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 farI only wanted you to have
More than I could ever dream of
I only wanted you to know
Everything I know and then someI only wanted you to be
More than I could ever become
I only wanted, I only wanted youSo 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 lateI only wanted you to have
More than I could ever dream of
I only wanted you to know
Everything I know and then someI only wanted you to be
More than I could ever become
I only wanted, I only wanted you, youI know it's not what you wanna hear
Nothing makes up for all the years
I pray for the day you seeI tried to raise you the best I know
Now there's only one thing I can hope
You don't end up just like meI only wanted you to have
More than I could ever dream of
I only wanted you to know
Everything I know and then someI 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
