You're the one that I want
You're a chance to take
You're a hard break
And swore you'd never leave again
You're the only one
That I ever trusted
Or who ever cared at all
Is this how it's going to be?
Is this how you wanted me?
Broken down again
It's almost over now
Is this why you wanted me?
To watch as you walk away
You kept on killing me
And you don't even want to touch me
I was wrong
I've wasted on
Can't figure out
What happened to us
I won't count
On you anymore
I'll be alright
Don't worry about me
Aren't you happy now?
Got what you want
I wanted you
But I'm over that now
I'm so sick of you
What we went through
Your lies to me
Won't win again
So don't kid yourself
It's better this way
It's all back to me
i like crying to this song.
My favorite Wrens song. The build-up of tension as his voice strains higher, and the eventual release in the three cleanest chords ever to end a song, is just a beautiful example of artistic control over the mood of the music.
amazing. the change of the tone and then just the lyrics themselves. can't say enough
such an amazing songs. one of my favourites on the album and by the band. second to "she sends kisses" and "13 in 6 months". the song is so dynamic. great band. can't say enough.
agree with apinrise, but i think that this song is bette rthan 'she sends kisses'. thats just me though. amazing fucking song.
this is the song that made me a wrens fan.
This is a beautiful song about having a significant other cheat on you repeatedly... as much as the singer wants to be with his girl, he ultimately realizes that she is a lying skank and that it's better for him to move on.
its about a guy who cares for this girl. who knows how she feels about him, he doesnt know either, hence the chance. but apparently she doesnt care about him. and now he must go on with his life, yet he is better now for going through this, hes become almost a stronger person for understanding this and realizes hes better without her and her crap. this song is excellent. it really describes how things can turn sour. it hits home for me. and i like how the wrens address something so real and not just some cliche love song.
This song is amazing. Im kind of going through the same thing and when I listened to this song after the my first "epiphany" about my situation, it was almost like an instance of clarity. And I think everyone can relate to this song and its theme, making it more human. The Wrens are incredible!!
I really like all the extreme emotions in this song. Love, hate, and everything in between.
