What Do You Want from Me Lyrics

As you look around this room tonight
Settle in your seats and dim the lights

Do you want my blood?
Do you want my tears?
What do you want?
What do you want from me?

Should I sing until I can't sing any more
Play these strings until my fingers are raw

You're so hard to please
What do you want from me?

Do you think that I know something you don't know?
Had I promised you the answers, would you go?
Should I stand out in the rain
Do you think I'll make gravy train for you

I'm not the one you need
What do you want from me?

- Instrumental bridge -

You can have anything you want
You can drift, you can dream,
Even walk on water
Anything you want

You can lose yourself this night
Sell your soul for complete control
Turn and face the light

If you open your mind to me
Echoes from a distant past
Come and let you see

- Guitar solo -

Cloudless, every day you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky

What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
