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?
There's 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 to tie
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 want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe?
There's my own one moment
I have you, the next you are gone
It's true, I crave you
Crave you
It's true, I crave you
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
Crave you
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
Let's just stop and think
Before I look face
Surely I can't fall
Into a game of chess
Around his little finger
The boy's got me cull
I try to reach out
But he's in his own world
This boy's got my head tied
And I swear 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?
There's my own one moment
I have you, the next you are gone
See her 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
