I Want It All Lyrics

I sensed a hesitation
The first time that you held me
So I closed the eyes of my heart
So I didn’t have to see
That I was pretending
I was pretending that you loved me
Did you love me?
And now I’m still hoping
My own private torture
I keep a door open
I keep a door open..

And tell me was it so hard
Tell me was it so hard
To be a little kind now?
Believe me I tried so hard
Believe me I tried so hard
To keep you in my life now…

Oh why…
Why….
Why can’t I forget you?
Forget you

So why…
Why…
Why can’t I forget you?
Forget you

I want it all (14x)

I’ve felt alone through my whole life
Every hour, every minute
I want to relive you
But I need to forgive you
I need to forget you
But I don’t want to lose you…

And tell me was it so hard
Tell me was it so hard
To give a little tenderness?
Believe me I tried so hard
Believe me I tried so hard
To keep you in my life now…

Oh why…
Why….
Why can’t I forget you?
Forget you

So why…
Why…
Why can’t I forget you?
Forget you

I want it all (14x)

Oh why…
Why….
Why can’t I forget you?
Forget you

So why…
Why…
Why can’t I forget you?
Forget you

I want it all (14x)

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.
