I have everything I need
well, almost everything
I have wealth
I have a phone
I have friends
I have a family
I have love
I have a television
I have a computer

but nothing compares
to what I want
nothing compares
to what I need
nothing compares
to the one thing in the world
I don't have

why did you leave me?
