All I Ever

When I was nine years old, I knew I had a secret that I never wanted to tell And by 12 years old, it grew I prayed to God and asked him, please don't send me to Hell So I tried to fit in the mold that I was given, oh I put on a dress, sat in the front pew and listened And I listened All I ever wanted Is to fall in love Like everyone else And not hate myself All I ever wanted Is to fall in love Like everyone else And not hate myself All I ever All, all I ever All, all I ever wanted When I was 16, I was lost Swore I liked this boy, but I just wanted his girlfriend And at 18, I begged God To make me straight but all I ever heard back was silence So I tried to fit in the mold that I was given, oh I put on a dress, sat in the front pew and listened And I listened All I ever wanted Is to fall in love Like everyone else And not hate myself All I ever wanted Is to fall in love Like everyone else And not hate myself All I ever All, all I ever All, all I ever wanted A year ago, I was still crying every night Asking God to take away these feelings I can't fight And then I felt all my shame wash away As I heard God say, "I made you to love this way" All I ever wanted Is to fall in love Like everyone else And not hate myself All I ever wanted Is to fall in love Like everyone else And not hate myself All I ever All, all I ever All, all I ever wanted All I ever All, all I ever All, all I ever wanted
