It's how I wanted.  It's how I wanted it to be.

I wanted you to be a little more like me.

And things won't change, I just wanted you to see.

I wanted you to be a little more like me.

I'm coming home now but every time I see your face,

I'll see a broken piece of history I can't replace.

And buildings will fall but I can't rebuild a wall with you,

with you...

Oh, the times we tried to pick up the pieces I left outside.

Futile trials patching up the leaks in our love life.

I can't believe it, I found a beautiful princess.

But I can't see perfection past a discount dress.

No I can't change, I am stuck in my ways .

And life's too strange for this to go away.

I can't complain because I'm afraid to say "I have to stay".

It's how I wanted.  It's how I wanted it to be.

I wanted you to be a little more like me.

And things won't change, I just wanted you to see.

I wanted you to be a little more like me.
