This Is What You Wanted
All the lines you wrote
All the words you spoke are here
It helps
Every part of her
Every drop of every tear
She smiles
This is what you wanted
This is what you prayed for every day
This is what you wanted
This is what you needed them to say
And you just so tired
But his life's just getting in the way
This is what you wanted
And there's nothing else to do today
But you can't go back again
You can't get out of bed
There's nothing left to break the fall
It's too long
You can't forget the sound
The switch to black and white and draw
It's gone
This is what you wanted
This is what you prayed for every day
This is what you wanted
This is what you needed them to say
And you just so tired
But his life's just getting in the way
This is what you wanted
And there's nothing else to do today
But you can't go back
Now you have to go back home
To face the world alone
Now you have to go back home
To face the world alone
God only knows how you sleep at night
God only knows how you face the light
This is what you wanted
This is what you prayed for every day
This is what you wanted
This is what you needed them to say
And you just so tired
But his life's just getting in the way
This is what you wanted
And there's nothing else to do today
(But you can't go back)
This is what you wanted
This is what you prayed for every day
This is what you wanted
This is what you needed them to say
And you just so tired
But his life's just getting in the way
This is what you wanted
And there's nothing else to do today
God only knows how you sleep at night
God only knows how you face the light
Now you have to go back home
To face the world alone
All the words you spoke are here
It helps
Every part of her
Every drop of every tear
She smiles
This is what you wanted
This is what you prayed for every day
This is what you wanted
This is what you needed them to say
And you just so tired
But his life's just getting in the way
This is what you wanted
And there's nothing else to do today
But you can't go back again
You can't get out of bed
There's nothing left to break the fall
It's too long
You can't forget the sound
The switch to black and white and draw
It's gone
This is what you wanted
This is what you prayed for every day
This is what you wanted
This is what you needed them to say
And you just so tired
But his life's just getting in the way
This is what you wanted
And there's nothing else to do today
But you can't go back
Now you have to go back home
To face the world alone
Now you have to go back home
To face the world alone
God only knows how you sleep at night
God only knows how you face the light
This is what you wanted
This is what you prayed for every day
This is what you wanted
This is what you needed them to say
And you just so tired
But his life's just getting in the way
This is what you wanted
And there's nothing else to do today
(But you can't go back)
This is what you wanted
This is what you prayed for every day
This is what you wanted
This is what you needed them to say
And you just so tired
But his life's just getting in the way
This is what you wanted
And there's nothing else to do today
God only knows how you sleep at night
God only knows how you face the light
Now you have to go back home
To face the world alone
