I Really Wanted You Lyrics

Well, strike me down if you wish
For never wanting you for long
Seasons change, oh, so do I go
Empty promises fool my songs

A cold wind's bending the morning
And the back-road bears the pain
I came with the gift of a new day
See, I leave with a gift of rain

And see two leaves falling
See they kiss, then drift away
And it's true, I really wanted you
And it's true, I really wanted you
Just yesterday...

I can see your eyes made for their crying
Like a star was made to shine
My face was meant to bear knowledge
Empty promises, fool lies

And see two leaves falling
See they kiss, then drift away
And it's true, I really wanted you
And it's true, I really wanted you
Just yesterday...

So let us strike out
Touch the new day
Let our bruises meet there
Like them, the rain has forsaken
We will need the greatest care

And see two leaves falling
See they kiss, then drift away
And it's true, I really wanted you
And it's true, I really wanted you
Just yesterday...

Strike me down if you wish
For not wanting you for long
Seasons turn, so do I go
Empty promises fool my songs

Well, strike me down if you wish
For never wanting you for long
Seasons change, oh, so do I go
Empty promises fool my songs

A cold wind's bending the morning
And the back-road bears the pain
I came with the gift of a new day
See, I leave with a gift of rain

And see two leaves falling
See they kiss, then drift away
And it's true, I really wanted you
And it's true, I really wanted you
Just yesterday...

I can see your eyes made for their crying
Like a star was made to shine
My face was meant to bear knowledge
Empty promises, fool lies

And see two leaves falling
See they kiss, then drift away
And it's true, I really wanted you
And it's true, I really wanted you
Just yesterday...

So let us strike out
Touch the new day
Let our bruises meet there
Like them, the rain has forsaken
We will need the greatest care

And see two leaves falling
See they kiss, then drift away
And it's true, I really wanted you
And it's true, I really wanted you
Just yesterday...

Strike me down if you wish
For not wanting you for long
Seasons turn, so do I go
Empty promises fool my songs

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
