If That's What You Want

(R. Matsuo)

Something went wrong in my way of thinking,
or at least what I understood.
I just didn't catch the last thing you said with all the "wills" and all the "shoulds."
I guess it didn't matter which way I heard it,
I couldn't make the sentences fit.
Taking one word at a time out of context made it so hard to commit.

And too much talk made it all sound the same.
I couldn't tell the new from the old.
Sometimes you need too much attention.
Sometimes I'm just too cold.

        Chorus
        If that's what you want,
        if that's what you need,
        It's all been a case of misunderstanding.
        That's not what I guaranteed.

        If that's what you want,
        we'd better not start.
        I'm not gonna break what I promised.
        You're not gonna break my heart.

We just can't spend one silent moment without the need to refrain.
Sometimes just basking in being together creates too much pain.
I've come to the fact it's just a matter of time before we'd go our own ways.
Though you said you'd like to go on , I wouldn't hear what you'd say.

Accepting the fact that I am who I am, wasn't an option for you.
Accepting your ways became too much to handle.
I had no choice but to choose.

        Chorus
