[Verse 1]

People tell me to be cautious

People tell me not to lose my self-control

People tell me to be flawless

People tell me not to let myself evolve


[Pre-Chorus]

And I think I don't really get it

I think it's all just a peculiar game

And soon I'll wake up and I'll forget it

And everyone will know me by a different name


[Chorus]

I wanted to be stronger

I wanted to be everything for you

If I could be stronger, would you believe

That I could love you like you want me to?


[Post-Chorus]

Love you like you want me to

Love you like you want me to (tell me now)

Love you like you want me to (tell me, tell me lies)

Love you like you want me to


[Verse 2]

I held my breath every time

I tried to keep myself dry

But did I ask too much?

If I could do it again

Would you believe what I said?

That I still want that rush


[Pre-Chorus]

And I think I don't really get it

I think it's all just a peculiar game

And soon I'll wake up and I'll forget it

And everyone will know me by a different name


[Chorus]

I wanted to be stronger

I wanted to be everything for you

If I could be stronger, would you believe

That I could love you like you want me to?


[Breakdown]

I wanna be strong for you (ah-ah-ah)

Love like you want me to

Love like you want me to

I wanna be strong for you

Love you like you want me to


[Bridge]

I wanna be strong for you

And I can, yes I can

If only you can promise that you will try to

I'll be there, I'll be there

I wanna be strong for you

If only you can promise that you will try to

I'll be there, I'll be there


[Chorus]

I wanted to be stronger (stronger)

I wanted to be everything for you (everything for you)

If I could be stronger, would you believe

That I could love you like you want me to?

I wanted to be stronger (stronger)

I wanted to be everything for you (ah for you)

If I could be stronger, would you believe (would you believe)

That I could love you like you want me to?


[Post-Chorus]

Love you like you want me to

You like you want me to

Love you like you want me to

You like you want me to
