What I Want
Chris Daughtry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But never did a thing about it 'til I let you in
It's kinda funny about the time that I was fallin' apart
You came and put me back together, now
'Cause what I want
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
As days go by
I've finally become
What you want me to be
I still remember all the stupid things that I've said and done
But still, you stuck around with me when all your friends said, "Run!"
Givin' me a name, I found myself inside all the flames
Becomin' everything for you again
'Cause what I want
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering
As days go by
I've finally become
What you want me to be
Don't tell me you saw it all along
God help me, I never knew it alone
Guess I was wrong
What I want
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering
As days go by
I've finally become
What you want me to be
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering
As days go by
I've finally become
What you want me to be
