[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
