This Is What You Wanted

(And you can't go back again)

All the lines you wrote

All the words you spoke are here

It helps

Every part of her

Every drop of every tear

She smiles:

This is what you wanted

This is what you'd pray for every day

This is what you wanted

This is what you needed them to say

And you're just so tired

But his life's just getting in the way

This is what you wanted

And there's nothing else to do today

(And you can't go back again)

You can't get out of bed

There's nothing left to break the fall

It's too long

You can't forget the sound

They switch to black and white and draw

What's gone

This is what you wanted

This is what you'd pray for every day

This is what you wanted

This is what you needed them to say

And you're just so tired

But his life's just getting in the way

This is what you wanted

And there's nothing else to do today

(And you can't go back...)

And now you have to go back home

To-to-to face the world alone

And now you have to go back home

To-to-to face the world alone

God only knows

How you sleep at night

God only knows

How you face the light

This is what you wanted

This is what you'd pray for every day

This is what you wanted

This is what you needed them to say

And you're just so tired

But his life's just getting in the way

This is what you wanted

And there's nothing else to do today

This is what you wanted

This is what you'd pray for every day

This is what you wanted

This is what you needed them to say

God only knows

How you sleep at night

God only knows

How you face the light

God only knows (and now you have to go back home)

How you sleep at night (to face the world alone)

God only knows (and now you have to go back home)

How you face the light (to face the world alone)
