"You just have to want it" I think
I lay panting, pinned to the cold floor
Right now I lie completely defeated
I guess I have to want it more

The words sing truth and honesty
If they didn't you would not use them so much
When the author spoke he or she must have
never felt pure heartache's cool touch

I badly want to keep it together
I am breaking piece by piece
Tired of faking emotions, falling apart
Within these wild feelings won't cease

I have pushed my will as far as it can go
Never have I longed for something so desperately before
You must be the exception to that phrase
I cannot attain your heart by wanting it more
My boyfriend always says "You just have to want it" like that is the solution to all our problems. Like I can just want something into existence. With us they are things I can do though.
