Hawk Nelson - Everything You Have Ever Wanted Lyrics






I walk the line
Leave it all behind
I've been waiting forever
Lets go back in time
When I could read your mind
Still I've been waiting

It took the seasons going by
To know its not my fault

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

Its been so long
Since you've been home
I used to wait up forever
I used to say a prayer
Wishing you were there
And I'm still waiting

You told me once
You'd show up
But I fell for that
Before I fell to pieces
Then I woke up
To no one,
Just a picture of Jesus
And a house left in pieces


It took the seasons going by
To know its not my fault

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

I wanted you
I need you
I want to believe you
I wanted you
I need you
I want to believe you

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
tried to be everything but you

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

    Went back to hear some old hawk Nelson and I'm so glad this song got big :)

  36. L.... M....

    they should play this song on the radio, i love this song

    L.... M....

    You might want to check out NGEN radio! They usually play more rap now, but I'm pretty sure the midday show plays stuff like this! I know they used to do a TON of stuff with Hawk Nelson when Jason Dunn was the lead singer.

    L.... M....

    But this could be john and maybe try the message

    L.... M....

    The House FM plays it some to this day!

    L.... M....

    My radio does. Thats how i knew of it

    L.... M....

    Lucky Man the play it on KJKL sometimes

  37. e.... a....

    Trate, trate dí lo mejor de mi y un poco más.

    I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
    Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
    I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
    Tried to be everything but you.

    Se te rompió la suela del zapato... :')

  38. P.... P....

    This Song is not by Hawk Nelson.. It's by Silverline.. I have the cd

    P.... P....

    That Proofs nothing.. I Still have the cd with it on it.. And it was done by Silverline first.. So Drop it.. Your not going to make me change my mind..

    P.... P....

    Ok and I get that but you aren't going to change ours either unless of course you tell us what cd it is like the actual name of the cd

    P.... P....

    for real man

    P.... P....

    +Peter Parker We just want the album name. We don't care about how knowledgeable you are about Silverline. We just want a straightforward answer and not answers like "I still have the CD" or "Silverline isn't popular" or anything isn't a straightforward answer to the question.

    P.... P....

    +Peter Parker good trolling on ur part lmfaoooo

  39. F.... ....

    I wish Hawk Nelson returned to this style of music.
    Or maybe I'm just so 00's...

    F.... ....

    Dude same... I fricking wish jason had never left. They were so good.

    F.... ....

    +Jeremy Miller huggggeeee update I don't like rock anymore but I agree with you

  40. F.... N....

    which WOW WORSHIP ALBUM did he sing this song?

    F.... N....

    I don't know about WOW Worship, but it's on their album called Smile It's the end of the World.

    F.... N....

    WOW All-Time Hits, I believe. It's yellow and orange.

  41. c.... t....

    This song is perfect for those Christians that trying their best to please everyone, even God...
    but we guys don't have to do that.. because God always and already love us no matter how sinful or how bad we are..
    because all we have to do is only to TRUST and TO LOVE HIM...
    PRAISE YOU LORD :D

    c.... t....

    I wish my friend, Calvin could have heard that.

    c.... t....

    Definitely. Im the same way. Just trying to please everybody including God.

    c.... t....

    🙏 stay calm and pray

  42. E.... Z....

    I love this song, I haven't heard this song in years, until I stumbled on it when I was listening to friend like that and I love it, and I can relate to this song, because I think the meaning of this song is a man's faith is being tested and he nearly gives up on God because he "tried to be everything that you ever wanted" and he felt like God has left him with his life in peaces just like " a house left in peaces with a picture of Jesus" and I have felt like that a lot of times

  43. A.... ....

  68. P.... ....

  69. j.... l....

    Ana Medina OMG same here!!! This song reminds me of my best friend.he asked me out 3 times and I said no every time and I wish I would have said yes because now I regret it and this song just makes me think of him. I was also his first kiss! So this song I'm hooked on for A LONG TIME so happy I started listening to these guys again I love them so much

  70. A.... M....

    i was so hooked on this song and band in middle school and then i kinda forgot about them(sorry) and now i am hooked again....

  71. R.... T....

    waahhh!!! I love this song!! ^_^

  72. J.... ....

    I think every kid who believes that they're just never good enough for their parents can relate to this song. Just know you're good enough no matter what

  73. i.... m....

    a classic

  74. E.... A....

    better yet, 2013 :D

  75. S.... D....

    This song is about him and his dad walking out on him. He ends it with "but you" because he tried everything but it wasn't enough for his dad, could be " but you...left" "but you...didn't care", this is not however a break up song, yes you can interpret how you want, but it doesn't erase the underlying meaning of the song and its intent.

  76. c.... ....

    For all of you out there that don't know what this song is about it's about Jason's dad walking out on him when he was young its not a breakup song

  77. J.... L....

    its 2013 now!

  78. K.... j....

    i love hawk nelson they are the best saw them in concert on the 27th

  79. c.... ....

    Yeah, no. Good for you, but this song is about what it feels like when your "true love" ditches you. Try listening to it again once she breaks your heart.

  80. K.... T....

    it's year 2013 and i'm still listening this :D

  81. C.... D....

    this song brings tears to my eyes it makes me think of u and what we used to b

  82. v.... ....

    And in times like this, God is my stronghold!

  83. T.... ....

    No offense, but this seems more of a break up song, in my opinion.

  84. m.... ....

    cryin right mowww

  85. t.... ....

    Sooo . . . how is that working out?

  86. B.... B....

    i lyk this song

  87. L.... ....

    You sucky if you think the songs sucky

  88. L.... ....

    @982MeGaN

  89. M.... G....

  90. s.... ....
