Lyrics for I Never Wanted

I never wanted And I never cared before I never wanted And I never cared before Take it back, this is a new day I never wanted And I never cared before Take it back, this is (How I long to regress) (To the days before I took upon myself) For tomorrow (the obsessions of this world) May fall (a day of innocence equating beauty) And today (is already gone) Is already (today is already) Gone Tomorrow may fall Today is already gone Take it back, this is a new day I never wanted (this is a new day) And I never cared before I never wanted (I never wanted) And I never cared before I've grown tired of chasing Convinced I was in need And now the years I've spent Only a slave to this Tomorrow may fall And today is already gone I will no longer adore these things That will never satisfy me I've seen my world change And then go back to where it came In this vicious circle We are all brought back to life Only to die In this vicious circle We are all brought back to life Only to die (again) I have seen my (in this vicious circle) My world change (we are all) And then go back (brought back to life) Back to where it came (only to die) But without these (in this vicious circle) Barren obsessions (we are all) I am simply (brought back to life) I am simply free (only to die) I've seen my world change And then go back to where it came
