  • Could have given me something
    You, my everything
    You left me kneeling, mmm
    I'm just one of those people
    You, my everything
    For what it's worth
    For what it's worth
    For what it's worth

    You were my backbone when
    My body ached with weariness
    And you were my hometown when
    My heart was filled with loneliness
    And just as the dark was rising
    I heard you close the door again
    And just as the light turns off
    I know who I dream of

    Could have given me something
    You, my everything
    You left me kneeling, ah
    I'm just one of those people
    You, my everything
    You, my everything
    You, my everything

    You are my only hope
    The truth that dealt the consequence
    I know you don't feel the same
    You're sensible and it doesn't make sense at all
    I know I'm gonna weep my heart out
    You know I'm gonna try much harder
    But it isn't the shit in my head
    Holding me under this time

    Could have given me something
    You, my everything
    You left me kneeling, ah
    I'm just one of those people
    You, my everything
    You, my everything
    You, my everything

    You, my everything
    You, my everything
    You, my everything
    You, my everything
    You, my everything
    You, my every-

    Could have given me something
    You, my everything
    You left me kneeling, ah
    I'm just one of those people
    You, my everything
    You, my everything
    You, my everything Writer/s: Elena Jane Goulding, Francis Eg White
