Maybe all this time we've been held down By the heavy weight of our own thoughts Maybe all this time we've searched around It's been so long, it’s been so long that we forgot What we want, what we want, what we want, what we want we have already got You can store your innocence away Study who you are and who you're not But you don't know how to feel today It's been so long, it's been so long that you forgot What you want, what you want, what you want, what you want you have already got No, you won't find it if you're looking Too busy with your endless searching Oh, no No, you won't find it if you're looking Oh, no Too busy with your endless searching ‘Cause what we want, what we want, what we want, what we want What we want, what we want, what we want, what we want we have already got What we want we have already got What we want we have already got

I don't have the words, if they even exist I don't have a clue how to fix this The only thing I know is you're the one I need So I can't figure out why you've got to leave Cause every time the day turns into night Oh the same thing keeps running through my mind Darling please come home, please come home, please come home to me Darling, darling, please come home, please come home, please come home to me You say that you're alright, then you turn your back Well, darlin', can the truth be that bad? Maybe this is not a perfect life But it never will be without a good fight Cause every time the day turns into night Oh the same thing keeps running through my mind Darling, please come home, please come home, please come home to me Darling, darling, please come home, please come home, please come home to me Oh, oh, oh (repeated) Darling, please come home, please come home, please come home to me Darling, darling, please come home, please come home, please come home to me

Finally I break myself in two Into something that you can hold Every step is work to push and pull All of myself into the mold Now what will I become, when you're done will I become When you're done, will I become good enough for your love? Good enough for your love? Right on the edge I stop and hold my breath Swallow it down below Only I know what lingers inside, secrets I hide for you So you don't go Now what will I become, when you're done will I become When you're done, will I become good enough for your love? Good enough for your love? Good enough for your love? Good enough for your love? Good enough for you only, I never will be The more that I try now, the harder it seems You love me only when I'm what you need The more that I try now, I see I never will be Good enough for your love

Do you remember that day in 2008 when you said you loved me? And you kissed me on the mouth and told me all about the bike accident from your childhood I remember, oh I remember with a clarity I know will never fade I remember, oh I remember ‘Cause that was my favorite day Then you went to my show, you didn't even know That I was in a punk band And all of my friends, they took you by the hand And they threatened your life I remember, oh I remember every single note that I played I remember, oh I remember cause that was my favorite day You told me you were damaged I said I'd be your bandage I remember, oh I remember with a clarity I know will never fade I remember, oh I remember ‘Cause that was my favorite day Yes that was my favorite day

Well I should have seen it coming From miles and miles away You never meant to keep me You never planned to stay Your eyes were focused only On the conquest and the chase Well I've played this game before But I lost it anyway And you've won, yeah you've won But look at what you've done It's all in good fun you say Only a game we play But when you lose it hurts Your smile in the morning Well I just can't shake it off You made it seem so real Like you were in love But you were only pretending Only planning your trick ending Where you take my heart and your run off And you're gone, yeah you're gone But look at what you've done It's all in good fun you say It’s only a game we play But when you lose it hurts I never knew (I never knew) it could hurt this bad (so bad) I never knew (I never knew) you could be this cruel But I was wrong I guess ‘Cause you've won Yeah you've won But look at what you've done It's all in good fun you say It’s only a game we play It's all in good fun you say It’s only a game we play But when you lose it hurts
