I Want What I Want

People tell their stories

Of what their life is not

Wasted years and broken dreams

They never gave a shot

I'm not gonna hold on while my life is flashing

Parachute off this plane because it's crashing

I want what I want not what I need

Getting what you get no it ain't so bad

But I want what I want not what I need

I need to live it up I need to live it up now

Looking in the mirror

Tell me who do you see today

So conformed and broken

How did it get this way

Tell me have you said your goodbyes to freedom

Where are your dreams now you really need them

I want what I want not what I need

Getting what you get no it ain't so bad

But I want what I want not what I need

I need to live it up I need to live it up now

I want what I want not what I need

This could have been my story

This could have been my way

But no guts, no glory

It's not a game I want to play

Tell me have you said your goodbyes to freedom

Where are your dreams now you really need them

I want what I want not what I need

I want what I want not what I need
