The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
you don't have to say
i know what you wanted
you don't have to stay
i know what's keeping you here
and tonight's the night
we make the same mistakes
and you give and you get
and go on your way now
breathing heavily
time is running out
breathing desperately
till your bleeding heart
gives out
you put up a front
and get knocked down
every time you run
it follows you around
it's what you wanted
it's what you wanted now
it's what you wanted
it's what you wanted now
you always get what you want
you always get what you wanted baby
it drives me crazy
you always get what you want
see the empty streets
then tell me numbers don't lie
feel the burning heat
that's summer saying goodbye
you put up a front
and get knocked down
every time you run
it follows you around
it's what you wanted
it's what you wanted now
it's what you needed
it's what you wanted now
you always get what you want
you always get what you wanted baby
it drives me crazy
you always get what you want
you always get what you want
you always get what you wanted baby
so don't say maybe
cause it drives me crazy
you always get what you want
