What Do You Want Lyrics

Why'd you call me today
With nothing new to say
You pretend its just hello
But you know what it does to me
To see your number on the phone

Now tell me,
What do you want, what do you want
What do you want from me
Are you trying to bring back the tears or just memories

You keep taking me back, taking me back
Where I've already been
When we hang up its almost like I'm losing you again

Can't you see
So what do you want, what do you want from me

I get so tired of living like this
I don't have the time, neither do my friends
TO stay up at night to pull me through
And the finer things to keep my mind off of you

Now tell me,
What do you want, what do you want
What do you want from me
Did you call to say you found someone and i'm a used to be

You keep taking me back, taking me back
To where I've already been
If you moved on why does it feel like I'm losing you again

Can't you see
So what do you want, what do you want from me

What do you want me to say
That I'm content
That I'm on the fence
That I wish you would've stayed

Oh baby,
What do you want, what do you want
What do you want from me
To come here and make love tonight cause your feeling lonely

You keep taking me back, taking me back
Where I've already been
When we wake up and say goodbye its like I'm losing you again

Can't you see
So what do you want, what do you want from me?

What do you want, what do you want from me?

I <3 this song... Someone recently called me.... Put them in my heart, cherished/locked them away... I was doing well and then this person contacts me agian... Heartache all over again. I don't know what this person wants from me!! :( I had to say goodbye again; done letting them use, tease, n throw my heart around. Sometimes "Goodbye, I <3 u forever in silence." is the only option. Unfortunately, sometimes people let fear stop them from doing/trying things....and will never find happiness. I pray for this person.

This song is simply about an ex who keeps calling you. I love how relatable it is to everyone, because a lot of people have went through this. My ex broke up with me and yet he is still calling me. We are friends but he knows how hard it is for the both of us. It gets really hard to cope with and I dont like that when he calls me its like he thinks its not going to effect me but when he does it literally kills me. I feel like saying what do you want from me to him all the time? Because its true I dont know what he wants. I can never figure out what he wants. He is in a relationship but I still dont think he is commited. If that is so then I am defintely not just going to be the booty call or the one he can turn too. I love him and I always am going to love him but there comes a time when you just cant talk to your ex or cant be too close because of how painful it really is. When it hurts to much that is the time when you are forced to make a choice and that is to just shut them out. Sometimes you have to do those things, even if you dont want too. It will save you a lot of pain and suffering later. It will help you move on if you dont have to hear their voice as much.

I think the first comment already explained it. Self explanatory.

I adore this song and I think it explains that as much as we love someone, it's too hard to speak to them. If you've figured out there will never be a future, why keep making us go through the motions when you're choice is clear. Yet at the same time you still crave to feel the pain from it because it's the closest you'll have to them again.

I love this song as well. I cannot really relate to it except putting myself in my boyfriends position. I feel that sometimes he misses his ex, because I would see her name randomely pop up in my searches, when I know it wasn't me who searched it, it was him. Sometimes it sucks knowing that you weren't his first, and sometimes it hurts me because he's my first love, but he told me I would be his last and that's all that matters. So back to how it relates to me in my boyfriends position, I can somewhat feel the pain he felt when his ex cheated on him. I sometimes just cry knowing how she could possibly do that to someone she "loved." They've been together for 5 years and it hurts me knowing that he still thinks of her after me and him been together for a year already. But like I said, I cry knowing that he kept taking her back, even through the pain she caused him. "I get so tired, living like this, I don't have the time, neither do my friends, to pull me through, and to find the things to get my mind off of you." I know he loves me, I just wish he hadn't been hurt like that. It hurts me knowing that the girl did this to him. I'm sure he sacrificed more than a lot for her. He cannot even bear to say her name, so that's how I know he is not completely over her, I don't think anyone really gets completely over someone. I can't imagine a life without my boyfriend, so...I know this really wasn't even about the song meaning sorry about that haha! I just felt like expressing how I feel when listening to this song.
