All You Want

I wrote All You Want about someone who I had feelings for

And who had feelings for me

But was still in a relationship with someone else

It was my way of convincing him to leave her

We dated soon after I showed him the song

It didn't end well

A pet peeve of mine is when people purposefully bottle things up

To me music is an emotional outlet

I write to sort my thoughts out

And I sing to scream it out into the world

I would always say that my music is a jounral entry with a melody

I had a lot of different emotions when I wrote All You Want

I was frustrated, angry, scared, hurt, and lonely

I wanted so badly to be loved

The person I wrote this about is also a musician

So I like to think songs hit harder that way

Because he knows all the work that goes into a song

Sometimes I think songwriters are the worst type of creatives

Singer songwriters are so petty!

If we get hurt we will sing about it

And we'll be Very specific about it

There are plenty of us who will put ourselves in shitty situations

Because at least we'll get a song out of it

The only way for us to get our emotions out

Is to yell in a catchy tune

But what's nice about being a songwriter is that

You can hear exactly what you were feeling in that point in time

I take the hurt I feel

And I create something beautiful

That's the magic of songwriting

When I hear this song

I remember the pain I felt

And I'm so glad that it's over
