you're talking so loud
you bury the sound of your heart that's singing out
and where do you want to be
on the top of your world
well you're just a girl who forgot what it's like to dream
you leave everything behind
but you're so tired
one day you might open up your eyes to find

what you've got isn't what you wanted
what you need just happens to be
what you got what you always wanted
what you need just happens to be
someone you should know

you tried to hide between the lines of a story never told
i've seen you run away
you're afraid of the fall, the weight of it all, it's too much
and you might change your mind
if you'd stand up one day
you might open up your eyes to find

what you've got isn't what you wanted
what you need just happens to be
what you got what you always wanted
what you need just happens to be
someone you should know
ladadadaladadadaladadadadadaladadaladadaaaaaaaaaaaaa

how do you keep it up?
it's all just a front
a dangerous stunt
you're gonna come down soon enough
open up your eyes and don't be scared and you might find
you had it all the time

what you've got is what you wanted
what you need just happens to be
what you tried so hard to hide,

it was there between the lines of a story never told
about someone you should know

what you've got is what you wanted
what you need just happens to be
someone you should know
what you've got is what you wanted
what you need just happens to be
someone you should know
what you've got is what you wanted
what you need just happens to be
someone you should know
