Why can't you want me like the other boys do? 
They stare at me while I stare at you 
Why can't I keep you safe as my own? 
One moment I have you the next you are gone 
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage 
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage 
Why can't you want me like the other boys do? 
They stare at me while I crave you 

I walked into the room dripping in gold 
Yeah dripping in gold 
I walked into the room dripping in gold 
Dripping in gold 
wave of heads did turn, or so I've been told 
Or so I've been told 
My heart broke when I saw you kept your gaze controlled 
Oh I cannot solve 

Why can't you want me like the other boys do? 
They stare at me while I stare at you 
Why can't I keep you safe as my own? 
One moment I have you the next you are gone 
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage 
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage 
Why can't you want me like the other boys do? 
They stare at me while I crave you 

It's [bad word] I crave you 
Crave You 
It's [bad word] I crave you 

Let's just stop and think, before I lose face 
Surely I can't fall, into a game of chase 
Around his little finger, that boy has got me curled 
I try to reach out, but he's in his own world 
This boy's got my head tied in knots with all his games 
I simply want him more because he looks the other way 

Why can't you want me like the other boys do? 
They stare at me while I stare at you 
Why can't I keep you safe as my own? 
One moment I have you the next you are gone 
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage 
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage 
Why can't you want me like the other boys do? 
They stare at me while I crave you
