Why can't you hold 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 hold 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
Oh, if I've had this time or so I've been told Oh, so I've been told, my heart broke when I saw you kept your gaze controlled
Oh, I cannot solve Why can't you hold 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 hold 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
Crave you
Let's just stop and think Before I look face
Surely I come to fall Into a game of chess
Around his little finger That boy's got me cuck
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 hold 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 hold me like the other boys do They stare at me while I crave you
I crave you
