What I Want

Location

I want you to prove them wrong

I want you to show them you're the one

I want for everything to be ok

I want to be able to say

That I'm proud you did it

I'm proud you did it on your own

 

I don't want to lose you forever

I feel like you won't ever take me back

Once I let you go for a moment in time

Maybe to find that there really is no one better than you

Maybe I find something better

Maybe I won't ever find someone as good as you

Will curiosity kill this cat once again?

 

You're the ride or die guy

But I would still give you a second chance

I would always give you a second chance

No matter how many times I may get hurt

Cuz I always want to make it work

I always want to make it work

I never want to give up

 

I don't want anything to be too much to handle

I always want to push myself to the limit

To the:

I'm starving,

Close to passing out hungry,

I haven't eaten in 6 hours at work

While I clean tables

Sweating and weak

To the:

My eyes are swollen

From crying so many tears

I hate to feel this way

Why are we fighting?

 

I've heard I'm strong

I've heard I'm weak

In the end I'm the one who thinks that's just me

And I'm the one to say

What I think I am

But...

 

No matter how hurt I may get

No matter how much I cry

I still forgive you

I'm still here

I still love you

I still want to be yours

I don't want to give up

 

My mother says if you have to think about something more than once you shouldn't do it

And I've thought about this plenty of times over

And I try to make sense of

Why I would

Or Why I would not

And I know that they just don't like you 

Like how they used to

And I know they don't want us together

At least for this moment in time

And I just want you to prove them wrong

I want you to succeed

I want you to show them everything they said you weren't 

I want you to be all of that for me

I want you to believe that everything happens for a reason

I want you to believe that life will take you to great places

Good people

And maybe even back to me

 

I honestly don't know what to do

I was hoping you would

I was hoping you would decide whether or not

It's working out

But were just as young together as we are apart

And just as knowledgeable as each other

And I'm not sure what's really right or wrong these days

But I do know I don't want to fight anymore

I don't want to cry anymore

I don't want to feel this sad and stressed all the time

I don't want to hurt you

I don't want to say the wrong things

I don't want to end it

I don't want to think "What If" when you find another pretty girl

I don't want  to lose you

 

I want everything to be ok

I want everything to workout

I want everything to be perfect

 

But I'm not sure it will happen as we plan
