You wanted it this way

This is a new song I wrote today:



You show up here
You say you want me back
You've had some time to think
I'm the best thing you have

And though you know
You told me it was over
Still you love me so
You don't wanna let me go.

But baby I've done thinkin
Some thinkin of my own
And now I need some time myself
Some time to be alone
What happened just can't be undone
Things just aren't the same
So remember that although it hurts,
There's no one else to blame:

You wanted it this way.
You wanted to have your space-
You wanted to say goodbye
But now you're in a better place
And suddenly- you see there's only me
for you
and you dont know what to do
cause now I'm gone,
and I've moved on.
but you wanted it this way.

You watched me cry
You turned around and walked away without a word
No more than just goodbye
I couldn't breathe.
Everything was you
Was nothing I could do
But somehow I made it through

And just when I can finally feel the sun upon my face
Just when I'm finally healing
and in a better place
Now you say you're sorry
Now you say you've changed
that you've got your act together
Your priorities arranged

But you wanted it this way,
You wanted a brand new start
And you never stopped to think
About my broken heart
Or how I felt
Or what-this-might-do to me
but now you finally see
but its too late, and I've moved on.
But you wanted it this way............

You wanted it this way..................

Now you decide you miss me
That you made a big mistake
But falling out of love was just a chance you had to take


(acoustic)
you wanted it this way-
You wanted to have your space-
You wanted to say goodbye
But now you're in a better place
And suddenly- you see there's only me
for you
and you dont know what to do
cause now I'm gone,
and I've moved on.
but you wanted it this way.
