Lyrics

[Verse 1]

As you look around this room tonight

Settle in your seats and dim the light

Do you want my blood?

Do you want my tears?

What do you want?

What do you want from me?

Should I sing until I can't sing anymore

Play these strings till my fingers are raw

You're so hard to please

What do you want from me?

[Verse 2]

Do you think that I know something you don't know?

(What do you want from me?)

If I don't promise you the answers would you go?

(What do you want from me?)

Should I stand out in the rain?

Do you want me to make a daisy chain for you?

I'm not the one you need

What do you want from me?

[Verse 3]

You can have anything you want

You can drift you can dream

Even walk on water

Anything you want

You can own everything you see

Sell your soul for complete control

Is that really what you need?

You can lose yourself this night

See inside there is nothing to hide

Turn and face the light

[Verse 4]

What do you want from me?
