What I Want
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.
Don't turn your back, 'cause it ain't over
Why don't you listen to my pray?
Give us a chance to go higher
'Cause we're not meant to be friends
I offer you my shoulders
To cry, to sleep, to confess
Why are we running out of fire?
You know that we could try something new
But what it's in our minds is that it's over now
We've gotta change our ways or it's over
But I love you
You are what I want
You are what I want
When all we've got is desire
Life shows us some other ways
Here you'll find what you need
Just try to give me a smile
But what it's in our minds is that it's over now
We've gotta change our ways or it's over
But I love you
You know, I love you
You are what I want
You are what I want
Look at me now
Don't turn your back
Look at me now
You'll remember me with tears in your eyes
'Cause what has come to us is that it's over now
And what you've done to me makes me wonder
Why I loved you?
Did I love you?
Are you what I want?
Are you what I want, for me?
