The last time that i saw her was the night we said goodbye
she said that love's a stranger and it's sure to pass you by
as she packed up her belongings, she couldn't look me in the eye
but i could see a tear roll off her face as we both tried so hard not to cry
she said
chorus: i never wanted the stars, i never wanted the moon
i like them right where they are
all i wanted was you
so baby just turn away because i can't face the truth
all i'm trying to say
is all i wanted was you
i tried so hard to remember when, how, why love went away
i tried to drown myself in pity but the whiskey kept calling your name
i bought you fancy cars and diamond rings, all the things that my money brings
and the servants to paint the sky blue
and i worked so hard seven days a week
i built a fortress for your heart to keep
if i could i'd wrap these words up for you
chorus: i never wanted the stars, i never wanted the moon
i like them right where they are
all i wanted was you
so baby just turn away because i can't face the truth
all i'm trying to say
is all i wanted was you
i may have built for you a dreamhouse
but i never thought you were alone
i filled the party up with company
but never made our house a home
solo
all i got is my guitar, these chords and the truth
all i got is my guitar... but all i want is you
chorus: i never wanted the stars, i never shot for the moon
i like them right where they are
all i wanted was you
so baby just turn awawy because i can't face the truth
all i'm trying to say
is all i wanted was you
i want you, i want you
i want you, i want you
