Wanted You More Lyrics
I kept waiting on a reason
And a call that never came
No, I never saw it coming
Something in you must have changed
All the words unspoken, promises broken
I cried for so long
Wasted too much time, should've seen the signs
Now I know just what went wrong
I guess I wanted you more
And looking back now, I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
All the nights we spent, just talking
Of the things we wanted out of life
Making plans and dreams together
Wish I'd seen, I was just too blind
My heart was open, exposed and hoping
For you to lay it on the line
In the end it seemed
There was no room for me
Still, I tried to change your mind
I guess I wanted you more
And looking back now, I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
Oh, I don't need you
I don't need you anymore
I guess I wanted you more
And looking back now, I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
I don't need you
I don't need you anymore
And a call that never came
No, I never saw it coming
Something in you must have changed
I cried for so long
Wasted too much time, should've seen the signs
Now I know just what went wrong
And looking back now, I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
Of the things we wanted out of life
Making plans and dreams together
Wish I'd seen, I was just too blind
For you to lay it on the line
In the end it seemed
There was no room for me
Still, I tried to change your mind
And looking back now, I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
I don't need you anymore
And looking back now, I'm sure
I wanted you more
I guess I wanted you more
I don't need you anymore

It's about getting the short end of the stick in a relationship. Wanting someone more than they want you, finally realizing this is the source of the problem to begin with. The person feels let down because they were the one who was more emotionally invested in the relationship:
"I kept waitin on a reason, in a call that never came" --Wasting time waiting for someone to change, to suddenly put as much effort into it as you are, only realizing after time that it's not going to happen, because you want this to work more than they do.
"In the end it seemed, there was no room for me, still I tried to change your mind" --Subconciously, the person knows that holding on is a lost cause, but at the same time is bound to them by the flickering hope that there is still something left in the relaitonship.
In the end, you see the person finally realizing and adressing the problem to the relationship ("I guess I wanted you more"), now understanding that it is unfair to themselves to remain in a relationship that is not fully benefitting them.
This song relates to me so much it's scary. I believe this song is about a guy that just stops talking to the girl, randomly. ("I kept waitin' on a reason -that he just stopped talking to her-, a call that never came") She doesn't know why and she had her hopes up so high that this guy was perfect for her and they were going to be together forever, but it turns out that she had just wanted him more. She says she "should have seen the signs" and that she was "just too blind" and he apparently didn't have room in his heart for her.
This song seems like it's pretty much written for me. I went through something like this and I was that girl. It's sad and it hurts that someone could just wake up one morning and never talk to you again.. and you have no reason why they did that.
It's funny, I thought this was written for me...I went through a similar situation, except the roles were reversed and I wanted HER more.

A "real" relationship doesn't work out. They are pondering the reasons and decide it is because according to each and their p.o.v they worked harder then the other-they wanted the other more then the other did them...??But then they don't need the other anymore. I guess I wanted You more?
