This Is What You Want

These words are from my tongue and lips,

And I don’t have control over this.

Can you see that this just won’t work?

You’re hanging from my fingertips,

And I can feel you start to slip.

I know this is what you want.

Writing it out again,

(Writing it out again)

Writing it out again.

Face the words that hurt you,

‘Cause I won’t be there.

Turn around and pick up your hat.

I’m so scared of what to do.

Calm because I’ll be alone.

I never wanted to be afraid.

Now I’m listening,

Barely breathing,

Still wide awake from my dreams.

Now you know I was the definite boy.

This will be alright.

Face the words that hurt you,

‘Cause I won’t be there.

Turn around and pick up your hat.

I’m so scared of what to do.

Calm because I’ll be alone.

I never wanted to be afraid.

Tell me, oh why, once again,

(Time again)

Words I don’t comprehend,

(This time)

I will be alright.

I’m telling, oh why,

(Time again)

Words I don’t comprehend,

(This time)

It will be alright.

Telling, oh why,

(This time again)

Words I don’t comprehend.

Be all right.

Face the words that hurt you,

‘Cause I won’t be there.

Turn around and pick up your hat.

I’m so scared of what to do.

Calm because I’ll be alone.

I never wanted to be afraid.

Oh why, once again,

Words I don’t comprehend.

Be all right.
