Anything You Want

I hear what you say

But I cannot pay attention today

I get what you mean

Is it in your genes or are you just plain?

So you can talk and talk for hours

Without getting the response that you want

I never thought you could stray so far

From what you believe is real

You’ve gone out to date, so desperate

To mate with somebody straight

But why can’t you see that this is the key to your misery?

And you still keep along that path

Without getting anything that you want

You said you’ve tried but whatever you need

Is so far out of your reach

You fight a war you cannot win

Not even realised you hide from yourself

And I’m too tired to talk, you know

Oh, why can’t I let you go?

You look kind of flat

Pathetic and mad

Or are you just sad?

You haven’t learnt how to fall, still awaiting your call?

Would you hear it at all?

Oh, you would bargain for some love

You don’t get any closer to your dreams

You never tried, but oh, you always cried

For what you believe is real

You fight a war you’ll never win

You’re not getting anything that you want

I’m far too tired to talk, you know

Still I can never let you go

Why you keep going on as planned

I will never quite understand

But I don’t give a shit about anything you’re doing

Hell, I quit! I’m done with it

Why can’t we just skip the nasty bits?

‘Cause you’ll never get anything you want
