You Wanted It

[Intro]

Run you coward, you run

These words crippled my confidence

The hymn I can't escape from

This is over and done with

This race has made me more than weary, I am dead

[Verse 1]

I created everything here that I wanted to see

(So was that your plan, to leave me out?)

We were all reciting messages and pushing repeat

(But this world you made, does it let you breathe?)

Does it let you feel

Anything but yourself?

When was the last time

Does it let you breathe?

Does it let you feel anything but yourself?

When was the last time you saw anyone else?

[Pre-Chorus]

Whispers and echoes of love fading

[Chorus]

The plans you made, you wanted it

The bitter taste, you wanted it

What God became you wanted it

But the one thing you need you'll never get

There was more of you and less of me

You blamed it on the chemistry

Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?

It didn't have to be this way but you wanted it

[Verse 2]

They were just calendar days

I'm sure it's all written down

But if you'll let me just ask

Is this how you bring the crowd (to their feet?!)

You hurt because it wasn't about you (About me?)

You're always scared the floor is gonna give way (I call the shots)

We could end this, we could end this (Don't you ever tell me what I've got!)

[Pre-Chorus]

Whispers and echoes of love fading

[Chorus]

The plans you made, you wanted it

The bitter taste, you wanted it

What God became you wanted it

But the one thing you need you'll never get

There was more of you and less of me

You blamed it on the chemistry

Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?

It didn't have to be this way but you wanted it

[Post-Chorus]

(I wanted, I wanted, I wanted, I wanted this!)

[Bridge]

(Blessed assurance) You made it such a lonely world

Such a very lonely world

(Jesus is mine) You bent the answers into questions

You let the voice go unheard

(O, what a foretaste) And you couldn't trust yourself

Cause what if everything you felt

(Of glory divine!) Meant this was not yours alone

(Heir of salvation) Every single word, every single little word that was said

(Purchase of God) And all the simple fears

And all the nights that you cried in your bed

(Born of His spirit) Hoping I was there but you told yourself

You're old and alone

(Washed in His blood) But you were never the widow you left on your own

I was washed in the blood

I was born of a spirit but I drowned

When you found me out there

(Rejoice! Rejoice! The old King is dead!

Long live the new king!

I am the new king!)

[Pre-Chorus]

Whispers and echoes of love fading

[Chorus]

The plans you made, you wanted it

The bitter taste, you wanted it

What God became you wanted it

But the one thing you need you'll never get

There was more of you and less of me

You blamed it on the chemistry

Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?

It didn't have to be this way but you wanted it
