You keep asking what I want But do you really want to know? I want the stars in the skies I want the stars in your eyes I want the thoughts you push through your mind that help you not to cry. I want you. I don't want you. I want to do Something that makes you see I'm not the person that you see The person that I ought to be And these are the thoughts I push through my mind that help me try to cry On the nights I feel I deserve it. I want you, I need you, I long for you, have to have you. I don't want you. "I love you" are the words silently whispered to his neck But suddenly my arms are wrapped around your chest instead Lulling you to sleep Forcing me to try to speak All these words to you because You want to know, don't want to know I want you. I don't want you.

I (don't) want you.
You keep asking what I want But do you really want to know? I want the stars in the skies I want the stars in your eyes I want the thoughts you push through your mind that help you not to cry. I want you. I don't want you. I want to do Something that makes you see I'm not the person that you see The person that I ought to be And these are the thoughts I push through my mind that help me try to cry On the nights I feel I deserve it. I want you, I need you, I long for you, have to have you. I don't want you. "I love you" are the words silently whispered to his neck But suddenly my arms are wrapped around your chest instead Lulling you to sleep Forcing me to try to speak All these words to you because You want to know, don't want to know I want you. I don't want you.
