You Wanted It

You Wanted It ―― Emery

Run you coward, you run

These words crippled my confidence

The hymn I can't escape from

This is over and done with

This race has made me more than weary, I am dead

I created everything here that I wanted to see

So was that your plan, to leave me out?

We were all reciting messages and pushing repeat

But this world you made does it let you breath

Does it let you feel anything but yourself?

When was the last time

Does it let you breathe?

Does it let you feel anything but yourself?

When was the last time you saw anyone else?

Whispers and echoes of love fading

The plans you made, you wanted it

The bitter taste, you wanted it

What god became you wanted it

But the one thing you need you'll never get

There was more of you and less of me

You blamed it on the chemistry

Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?

It didn't have to be this way but you wanted it

They were just calendar days

I'm sure it's all written down

But if you'll let me just ask

Is this how you bring the crowd to their feet?

You hurt because it wasn't about you

About me?

You're always scared the floor is gonna give way

I call the shots

We could end this, we could end this

Don't you ever tell me what I've got

Whispers and echoes of love fading

The plans you made, you wanted it

The bitter taste, you wanted it

What god became you wanted it

But the one thing you need you'll never get

There was more of you and less of me

You blamed it on the chemistry

Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?

It didn't have to be this way but you wanted it

I wanted, I wanted, I wanted, I wanted this

You made it such a lonely world

Such a very lonely world

You bent the answers into questions

You let the voice go unheard

And you couldn't trust yourself

Cause what if everything you felt

Meant this was not yours alone

Every single word, every single little word that was said

And all the simple fears

And all the nights that you cried in your bed

Hoping I was there but you told yourself

You're old and alone

But you were never the widow you left on your own

I was washed in the blood

I was born of a spirit but I drowned

When you found me out there

Rejoice, Rejoice the old King is dead

Long live the new king

I am the new king

Whispers and echoes of love fading

The plans you made, you wanted it

The bitter taste, you wanted it

What god became you wanted it

But the one thing you need you'll never get

There was more of you and less of me

You blamed it on the chemistry

Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?

It didn't have to be this way but you wanted it
