What You Want

I’ll never shine bright enough for you
try hard enough for you
fall far enough for you
fly high enough for you
I’ll never live like you want me to
think like you want me to
feel like you want me to
break like you want me to

 
-You say one thing and mean another
You only hear what you want
You think one thing, deny the other
You only see what is not- (Chorus1)

 
I’ll never be strong enough for you
suffer enough for you
give quite enough for you
take just enough for you
I’ll never speak like you want me to
lie like you want me to
breathe like you want me to
bleed like you want me to

 
-You say one thing and mean another
You only hear what you want
You think one thing, deny the other
You only see what is not-

 
So, is this what you want from me now?

 
-You say one thing and mean another
You only hear what you want
You think one thing, deny the other
You only see what is not-

-You say these things and think you’re better
You always think you belong
You think that there is no one better
You still believe what is wrong- (Chorus2)
