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
