[Intro]
Bm7sus4
[Chorus]
Why can t you want me like the other boys do?
Bm7sus4
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can t I keep you safe as my own?
Bm7sus4
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
Bm7sus4
That boy s got my heart in a silver cage
Why can t you want me like the other boys do?
Bm7sus4
They stare at me while I crave you
[Verse 1]
(same chords as in chorus)
I walked into the room dripping in gold
Yeah dripping in gold
I walked into the room dripping in gold
Dripping in gold
A 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
[Chorus]
(same as the first one)
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
[Bridge]
(same chords)
It s true I crave you
Crave You
It s true I crave you
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
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
[Chorus]
(same as the first one)
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
