If i wanted

Sometimes consequences get the best of both of us
Doesn't mean it wasn't worth the fuss
You like strategies and slipping through the cracks
Just to leave a love in his tracks
Still you'd stop at nothing to be endlessly attacked

What if I wanted
If I wanted
If I wanted you

Now you're all indigent and painting me in red
Maybe it's the vessels in my head
Cause we're so worried that these words will never rest
Just because they're frozen in your breath
Still you'd stop at nothing to defend them to the death

You see faces of me everywhere you turn
Still you say there's nothing left to burn
But nothing burns when
Aspirations are all bound to be in vain
The differences always stay the same
The more we reinvent ourselves the less we seem to change

What if I wanted
If I wanted
If I wanted you
