I Never Wanted You Lyrics
I never wanted to.
I know I told you I did
In front of witnesses.
And then we lit one wick
But now I get my kicks.
Because I never said
Baby I was faking the whole time.
How could you ever have guessed it?
With no accomplices,
Baby, I was faking the whole time.
Inflammatory.
But rather than let you think that I was
So naïve, I'd have you believe.
I never wanted you.
You never had my heart.
Our love was never true.
Because I never said, but
Baby, I was faking the whole time
How could you ever have guessed it?
With no accomplices,
Baby, I was faking the whole time.
You only thought we did.
Baby, I was faking the whole time. (3x)
Do you think this song could be about God? It takes it to a whole new level.
That is very probable... and intense.
That is very probable... and intense.
So intense.
So intense.
I would venture to say it is. Bazan started out as a Christian artist and partially through his career he left his faith. The album Curse Your Branches really gets into it.

good super good
catchy
now im seeing why D. Bazan decided to do this side-project. I dont think Pedro could have pulled this song off half as good. This song is devistatingly beautiful. the song itself is pretty self-explanitory and simple but that doesn't mean anything since overall it is great. the first time i heard this song i got chills throughout my body. good job david!
He obviously loved this girl. When she told him one day that she never loved him, he shoved his feelings under a rug, and this song is him telling her that he never really loved her either.
"But rather than let you think that I was So naïve, I'd have you believe.

He doesn't want her to see how much he loved her, and how much she hurt him.
A couple corrections:
I never wanted you. I never wanted two.
So naïve, I'd have you believe. I never wanted you I never wanted two.
and,
You know we never connected You only thought we did.
overall, this song is about being indenial in my opinion.
I used to room with a guy who knows dave bazan, and the group of people who inspired much of this album.
he told me the story behind the song one day, how it's actually about a couple he knew who got pregnant, and got married as a result. but after the baby was born she found out he'd been cheating on her with one of their friends, and he told her he never really wanted to be married to her or be a dad and he only married her out of "duty".
I think this song, (which is wonderful by the way), is about a guy who simpley didn't want to hurt a girl's feelings. He didn't know how to tell her it was never meant to be anything serious and just got so caught up in the result that he couldn't bring himself to letting her down.
I totally agree with Sielense... when i first listened to this song, its easy to think he just doesn't want/wanted to be with this girl, but rather faked his way through loving her, but thats not what i felt like it was saying at all. I feel like he just didn't want to admit that he had true feelings for her and that he was really hurt by her. So just to hide that fact and to try to make her feel the same pain that he was feeling, he told her that he never had feelings for her anyways, which is something that i and im sure very many guys can relate with...
But I guess i am completely wrong if flagrant's story is true, but i guess music meant to be interpreted any way you see fit, so i like my interpretation...
The acoustic version kills me. This song in general makes my eyes water.
It's definitely about sucking up your feelings and pretending you don't care.. when it's really killing you on the inside.
I'd like to meet one person that can't relate to this song.
