"If You Want Me To" lyrics

Here's one for the tamed
Runners-up and losers of the game
Tried and true, the tragic and the shamed
Brokenhearted, sad eyed, and unnamed

You've given everything, you've even sold yourself
And damned your soul to hell for selling out
You've always had it better than most anybody else
With the brain and talent of yourself

If you wanted to you'd be the man
Make your way to the light where you began
If you wanted to you'd be the man
Make your way to the light where she gave her best through friends
Even sent a note in her own hand

It said so sorry how it had to end
And how much she missed me being her man

She'd kept her feelings hidden out of sight
And I felt wrong but she thought it right
For so long I'd let my feelings shine in open light
Like a shrine for hearts like mine

If you want me to say it again
You're my way through the light, the light where I began
If you want me to say it again
You're my way to the light, the light where I began

If you want me to
If you want me to
I'll do what they do
I'll do what they do
