I Want
"I WANT"is the phrase that most people share
w/the ones that they love to "Prove"that they care
"I WANT"I once thought,before I knew better
was just a plea bargain,something put in a letter
"I WANT"is a way for me to implore
on you,that I'm feeling alone and ignored
"I WANT"I use sometimes,a way to express
the fact that I feel that you could care less
"I WANT"is a term that I know that I've said
not always out loud,but at least in my head
"I WANT"I use often to try and explain
the way that I feel,the confusion,the pain
"I WANT"was the one thing,in my mind,that I had
I knew I could use if things had turned bad
"I WANT"was a thing I knew I could say
subconsciously trying to push you away
"I WANT"I have thought most times was my friend
those words got me through times I thought wouldn't end
"I WANT"seems a selfish and greedy command
it seems so self centered,a petty demand
"I WANT"really IS a selfish remark
that ultimately seems to push us apart
"I WANT"now it seems to me that I'm older
is a pathetic attempt to make me seem bolder
"I WANT"now I know has done more harm than good
and living without it is best,if I could
"I WANT"I know now has caused me much pain
but letting it go all together's insane
"I WANT"really can be a positive note
as long as it's not used to make a scapegoat
"I WANT"to attempt to change how I see
the things in my life that are important to me
"I WANT"to live my life in bliss
w/the one,that I know,Ishould be with
"I WANT"only one thing,which I can't control
a normal life,with you,THAT'S ALL!!!
"I WANT"I guess,is down to right now
that someday I'll have your solemn vow
"I WANT"for you to feel the same
but with no pity for me,no shame
"I WANT"that more than you understand
so for now I'll just settle for being your "MAN"
