What You Want Me To

(album: Yours Truly - 2011)

If alcohol had been prescribed to aid this fluttering inside my chest,
I could just relax and better yet,
I'd be cured from the ache that ensues every time that I wake
And I find that I'm still missing you
And those little lies you told,
The complex truth I hold
If it's true that you were always through
Than who are you to push us back in time;
You tie me up inside, pick me up just to drop me,
Watch me fall back down into the mess you made me
So this is love, and if so,
What's the point of being in it at all?
When it hurts, we let go

And I just can't leave my heart with you,
I will always do what you want me to
Well you're everything, but you're nothing new,
I will always do what you want me to

Can I be blamed if this is what I need to get me through a tough time,
Which is all the time because when I'm with you, I'm alone,
And when you're gone I'm feeling just the same
With all your little games and all the stupid things you do,
Every time I think it through,
I get strong enough to burn the bridge from me to you
Made up my mind, take it back let's rewind
To a time when things between us weren't so crazy,
Looking back they always were that way we know
This is love, I guess so what's the point of being in it at all?
When it hurts, we let go

And I just can't leave my heart with you,
I will always do what you want me to
Well you're everything, but you're nothing new,
I will always do what you want me to

There's been a breakdown, a miscommunication,
Because I just can't be everything you want
If there's a brighter side to this then I can't see it;
Is there something that I've missed?

And I just can't leave my heart with you,
I will always do what you want me to
Well you're everything, but you're nothing new,
I will always do what you want me to
