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 [02:39.87 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 lalalalalala lalalalalala Crave You lalalalalala lalalalalala 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. I am craving you.
