What I Wanted

Nelly Furtado

1. I turned my head away
   Didn't wanna hear what you said
   You had changed your mind
   
   I showed up insecure
   But I thought you would be sure
   I guess I had a lost sight

R: But at the end of my life
   I'll look back on my life
   I'll know that my life was good
   At the end of my life
   I'll look back on my life
   See I went after you like I should
   I went after what I wanted
   I went after what I wanted
   And I never really got it
   But it don't matter at all

2. I guess it was a lot
   To ask for these things we'd lost
   
   And time changes many things
   But my heart it still sings
   For you, I don't know why

R: But at the end of my life
   I'll look back on my life
   I'll know that my life was good
   At the end of my life
   I'll look back on my life
   See I went after you like I should
   I went after what I wanted
   I went after what I wanted
   And I never really got it
   But it don't matter at all

*: I thought I'd spend my last days
   Holding your hand
   Now all of my senses lie here dead on the floor

R: But at the end of my life
   I'll look back on my life
   I'll know that my life was good
   At the end of my life
   I'll look back on my life
   See I went after you like I should
   I went after what I wanted
   I went after what I wanted
   And I never really got it
   Everything else I lost it
   I went after what I wanted
   I went after what I wanted
   And the rest don't really matter
   G (let it ring)
   It don't matter at all
   
   It don't matter at all
