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
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
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
Crave you
