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 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 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 did turn or so I've been told

Or 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 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 want 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

Let′s just stop and think before I lose face

Surely I can't fall into a game of chase

Around his little finger that boy has got me curled

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 want 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 want me like the other boys do?

They stare at me while I crave you

I am craving you
