tell me what to do
to keep from losing you
and hold on to the hands
that i'm slipping through
and tell me what it means
when you go off to sleep
all alone
you know that i can help
i'm not someone else
or a better version of myself
what you see is what you get
so what did you expect
from me?
you want me
you want me
to give you better reasons
why you shouldn't leave
you want me
you want me
to fit into your life
way too perfectly
you don't want me
you don't want me
you don't want me
oh no
you don't want me
you don't want me
you only want me to change
you had us figured out
you said we'd settle down
we'd get a bigger place
in a smaller town
a quiet little life
i'm working nine to five
oh no
but baby look how i've grown
you should've known
but you couldn't leave
well enough for long
so what did you expect?
this is what you get
from me
you want me
you want me
to give you better reasons
why you shouldn't leave
you want me
you want me
to fit into your life
way too perfectly
you don't want me
no
you don't want me
you don't want me
oh no
you don't want me
you don't want me
you only want me to change
you want me
you want me
to give you better reasons
why you shouldn't leave
you want me
you want me
to fit into your life
way too perfectly
you don't want me
no
you don't want me
you don't want me
oh no
you don't want me
you don't want me
you only want me to change
