crave you

why can't you want me like the other boys do?

they stare at me while i stare at you

why can't i keep you safe as my own?

one moment i have you the next you are gone

rehearsed steps on an empty stage

that boy's got my heart in a silver cage

why can't you want me like the other boys do?

they stare at me while i crave you

i walked into the room dripping in gold

yeah dripping in gold

i walked into the room dripping in gold

dripping in gold

a wave of heads did turn

or so i've been told

or so i've been told

my heart broke when i saw you kept your gaze controlled

oh i cannot solve

why can't you want me like the other boys do?

they stare at me while i stare at you

why can't i keep you safe as my own?

one moment i have you the next you are gone

rehearsed steps on an empty stage

that boy's got my heart in a silver cage

why can't you want me like the other boys do?

they stare at me while i crave you

it's true i crave you

crave you

it's true i crave you

let's just stop and think

before i lose faith

surely i can't fall into a game of chase

around his little finger

that boy has got me curled

i try to reach out but he's in his own world

this boy's got my head tied in knots with all his games

i simply want him more because he looks the other way

why can't you want me like the other boys do?

they stare at me while i stare at you

why can't i keep you safe as my own?

one moment i have you the next you are gone

rehearsed steps on an empty stage

that boy's got my heart in a silver cage

why can't you want me like the other boys do?

they stare at me while i crave you

i am craving you.
