Verse:
Baby, we are Blying here
GaugPretending that we’re Bboth asleep
I can hear G#myour broken heart
And every single breath you breathe
It’s Bhard to find the words C#to say
When we both Bhurt like this
So I close F#mmy eyes and pray
Time wG#mill heal what we’re bound to miss
Pre Chorus:
No one can eGaugver say
Why Bit goes this way
Chorus:
Sometimes what we want isn’t what we get
Sometimes what we get ain’t really whaD#mt we want
Sometimes what we want isn’t what we get
Sometimes Bwhat we get ain’t really what we want
It seems for every one we win
EThere’s another three we lose
We’ve waited for tD#mhe answer here
BOnly just to G#mleave confused
BYou know you’re forever mine
And baby, I’m forever yours
F#I’ve waited in the darkest rooms
G#mOoh, waiting in the open Bdoor
No one can Eever say
Why it Bgoes this way
Sometimes what we want isn’t what we get
Sometimes what we geEt aBin't really want we F#want
BSometimes what we Bmwant isn’t what we get
Sometimes what we get ain’t really what we Bwant
