What You Want

Woke up from another dream
with the clouds in my head
sat down by the window watched the sunrise burning red
I guess I'm doing alright now
but there's too much time to kill
I can't forget you lying there so still
Picture back to another time
I see you sitting here
you said would you ever forgive me if I chose to disappear
I turned away and closed my eyes
I didn't think I could
If that's what you want I guess I would
if that's what you want I guess I would
You know I can't live like everyone else
nothing ever seems that simple in my head
feel myself slipping away
don't want to wind up helpless in my bed
This time I want to get out and walk but I think I'll fall
I can see myself in so many ways
but I curse myself instead
was there something I should have done
something else I could have said
you know I tried to change it but I can't forgive you still
If that's what you want I guess I will
if that's what you want I guess I will
You know I can't live like everyone else
nothing ever comes that simple in my head
feel myself slipping away
tired of waking up lonely in my bed
This time I want to get out and walk but I think I'll fall
this time I want to get out but I think I'll fall
