What I Want

[Verse 1]
The inevitable run-in at the bar
I was sulking and regretting going out
We got to talking and I started to feel better
That stabbing hatred for you suddenly felt softer
You said it’s springtime and you’re doing a bit better
You've even found yourself another lover

[Refrain 1]
I guess I could find one too
I guess I could find one too

[Chorus]
I won’t play the victim just because I can’t get what I want
I won’t play the victim just because I can’t get what I want

[Verse 2]
Isn’t it nice to have a little bit of closure
Instead of talking shit and throwing a cold shoulder

[Refrain 2]
I want to be nice to you
I want to be nice to you

[Verse 3]
Self-destruction is so played out
So is self-pity and self-doubt
Let’s try to be okay
Let’s try to be okay

[Chorus]
I won’t play the victim just because I can’t get what I want
I won’t play the victim just because I can’t get what I want
I won’t play the victim just because I can’t get what I want
I won’t play the victim just because I can’t get what I want

[Outro]
Oh, oh
