Name: What We Wanted
Duration: P00H03M39S
Description: This song was originally recorded on the Krief EP (Take It Or Leave). After playing it several times live with the band, the song took on a new life, and a new energy. I really wanted to capture that energy by re recording it with Black Diamond Bay. The end result is a more driven , lush version that better represents the band's live energy.

lyrics

I can't believe the things you're saying
You're telling me that it's too late
When all this time you've stopped believing
That we could ever find a way

Love is all I am living for
I can't hide my pain behind a smile
Take it all cause you're beautiful
Better open your eyes and try

I can't believe the things I'm seeing
You've lost yourself you change each day
And all this time I was believing
You were the one to guide the way

Love is all I am living for
I can't hide my pain behind a smile
Take it all cause you're beautiful
Better open your eyes and try

Love is what we wanted
Love is what we needed
