When You Want Something

Oh, the night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
And every day takes you farther away
From the one to whom your longing heart belongs
So you crawl into the songs
And hope to find her there

When you want something
That you know you'll never have
And that wanting is what's keeping you alive
When you lose someone
That you never really had
And that losing feels like what it means to die

Oh, the winds grow colder
And suddenly you're older
And that little girl, wide-eyed in a wicked world
Oh, do you dare to think the promise of your love
Was the land that she heard of
In a lullaby where the bluebirds fly?

When you want something
That you know you'll never have
And that wanting is what's keeping you alive
When you lose someone
That you never really had
And that losing feels like what it means to die

To die [x4]

When you want something
That you know you'll never have
And that wanting is what's keeping you alive
When you lose someone
That you never really had
And that losing feels like what it means to die
