 (Verse):
All I  see
Lying  there in front  of me
 Maybe we were here  be-fore
I  just didn't  wanna believe
But  in all that time  we never  talked
 You wrote it all down so I couldn't ignore it
 (Chorus):
This  is the way  you  want it to  be
This  is the way  you  want it to  be
 Oh, this  is the way  you  want it to  be
 Guess you don't want me
 (Verse):
We  had  love
Always  thought it  would be enough
 Oh, but then it goes a-way
 But I don't  really wanna  give  up
 It feels  like hell  to let  you walk
 Bet it all down but I couldn't afford it
 (Chorus):
 This is the way you want it to be
 This is the way you want it to be
 Oh, this is the way you want it to be
 Guess you don't want me
 (Bridge):
 And I never really said it before
 
But  I really should have given you so much more
 (Chorus):
 But this is the way you want it to be
 This is the way you want it to be
 Oh, this is the way you want it to be
 Guess you don't want me
 (Outro):
 Guess you don't want me
 Guess you don't want me
 Yeah, you don't want
 Guess you don't want
 Me
