Owen, Jake - What We Ain't Got Lyrics






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

Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh

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

    There's people in this world that want so much but can't see and appreciate what they have and what's right in front of them. Such a shame that people are blind that way

    I will forever love this song & video ❤️🙏🙌

  47. C.... R....

    I lost the love of my life. She had enough of the fighting, I’ve owned up to everything and I’m trying my hardest to get her back. She’s the mother of our two beautiful girls and the lyric “I trade it all just to get her back, she’s moving on but I guess I’m not” just kills me. If she reads this, I still love you and I hope you give me one last chance to prove my love to you

  48. l.... m....

    I would too but u had one under ur blanket she was getting her work down no money she didn't succeed n her out come

  49. G.... ....

    Great song ♥️

  50. C.... S....

    To be happy again

  51. T.... W....

    fully underestimated, this is an awesome song, and I totally agree: I´d trade it all just to get her back!

  52. K.... K....

    WOW WOW WOW!!!! Excellent heart felt song

  53. N.... D....

    Stolen, women without hair. Milly, you really should stop letting that fake blue blanket mess with songs. She caused enough trouble with that other crap in Mexico by setting that tower off.

  54. 7.... F....

    Damn this song hits home hard I miss my ex she was amazing but sadly I fucked up and she went back to her other ex I would do anything to get her back but she doesnt want anything to do with me sadly

  55. B.... B....

    And so goes life.... Everyone will always want what they ain't got... Story of my life ❤️

  56. W.... A....

    All I want is what I had😣

  57. S.... 1....

    i'm assuming it's still Barefoot Blue jean Night since he's got no shoes on

  58. T.... M....

    I would love to be back with my wife I still love her so much we was friends for 14 years be for we got married

  59. T.... F....

    I don't understand how someone can change in a blink of an. They love you to pieces one day and then the next they don't. No one fights for relationships anymore. Ppl just give up and walk away.

  60. G.... C....

    Love this

  61. n.... r....

    Wish I had my dad and brother back, miss them so much my whole world stopped when I lost both of them RIP Joe Cocharn and Robert T Reed miss u both so much, love you both with all my heart

    A room filled with greenery...like finding Neverland.

  68. K.... K....

    Its all true I feel sorry for the pastor.
    We all long to be sinless even though he'll see Christ in the end.

  69. B.... N....

    "I'll trade it all just to get her back" pretty much but it should say him.. He was 21 when he shot and killed himself. He was my best friend and my first love. Yes I'm with someone new but I do miss him so much!!

  70. J.... B....

    I have someone in my life now but we haven't seen each for a year now. But I think that will see other on New Year Eve night for a dinner and damce.

  74. M.... G....

    And it's true

  75. M.... G....

    I lost my sister when she was 6 mouths old I don't know her that well but I miss her

  76. C.... B....

    This song reminds me of my daddy's funeral. I was 6 when we came up with the money to make his memorial grave. I would give myself for him back. He died a day after my Fourth birthday. In 2005. Some things never change
