This Is What You Wanted

All the lines you wrote
All the words you spoke are here
It helps
Every part of her
Every drop of every tear
She smiles:
This is what you wanted
This is what you’d pray for every day
This is what you wanted
This is what you needed them to say
And you’re just so tired
But his life’s just getting in the way
This is what you wanted
And there’s nothing else to do today
(And you can’t go back again)
You can’t get out of bed
There’s nothing left to break the fall
It’s too long
You can’t forget the sound
They switch to black and white and draw
What’s gone
This is what you wanted
This is what you’d pray for every day
This is what you wanted
This is what you needed them to say
And you’re just so tired
But his life’s just getting in the way
This is what you wanted
And there’s nothing else to do today
(And you can’t go back…)
And now you have to go back home
To-to-to face the world alone
And now you have to go back home
To-to-to face the world alone
God only knows
How you sleep at night
God only knows
How you face the light
This is what you wanted
This is what you’d pray for every day
This is what you wanted
This is what you needed them to say
And you’re just so tired
But his life’s just getting in the way
This is what you wanted
And there’s nothing else to do today
This is what you wanted
This is what you’d pray for every day
This is what you wanted
This is what you needed them to say
God only knows
How you sleep at night
God only knows
How you face the light
God only knows (and now you have to go back home)
How you sleep at night (to face the world alone)
God only knows (and now you have to go back home)
How you face the light (to face the world alone)
