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 face
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
