  • We all want what we ain't got,
    Our favorite doors are always locked.
    On a higher hill with a taller top,
    We all want what we ain't got.

    We ain't happy where we are,
    There's greener grass in the neighbors yard.
    A bigger house and a faster car,
    We ain't happy where we are.

    All I want is what I had,
    I'll trade it all just to get her back.
    She's moving on, but I guess I'm not
    We all want what we ain't got

    We all wish it didn't hurt,
    When you try your best and it doesn't work.
    And goodbye's such a painful word,
    We all wish it didn't hurt.

    All I want is what I had,
    I'd trade it all just to get her back.
    She's moving on, but I guess I'm not.
    We all want what we ain't got.

    All I want is what I had,
    I'd trade it all just to get her back.
    She's moving on, but I guess I'm not.
    We all want what we ain't got.

    I wanted the world until my whole world stopped,
    You know a love like that ain't easily forgot.
    I guess we all want what we ain't got.
    Yeah, we all want what we ain't got. Writer/s: TRAVIS JEROME GOFF, TRAVIS MEADOWS
