Lyrics

When I was on   and I was thinking of
I felt like I know him though I know his  
And I know what he wouldn't do to   me
But I didn't   that
Feeling so   ,
feeling so great about  
And then it just be
Completely   by one thing
By something so  
But then you make me feel crazy baby
Feel like it's my  
I was in pain...

What the heart wants
What the heart wants
What the heart wants

You got me   on something
I can't   to nothing
I've ever known, I'm  
That after this fever I'll  
I know I'm   a bit crazy
Strung out, a little bit  
Hand over heart, I'm  
That I'm gonna   it out alive

The bed's getting cold and you're not here
The   that we hold is so unclear
But I'm not   until you call
And I'll bet the odds against it all
Save your   , 'cause I won't hear
You might be right, but I don't care
There's a   reasons why
I should give you up

But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants

You got me   in pieces
Shining like stars and  
Lighting me up like Venus
But then you   and make me wait
And every second's like  
Heroin drip, no more so
Finding a   to let go
Baby, baby, no, I can't escape

The bed's getting cold and you're not here
The future that we hold is so unclear
But I'm not alive until you call
And I'll bet the odds against it all
Save your advice, 'cause I won't hear
You might be right, but I don't care
There's a million reasons why
I should give you up

But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants

This is a modern fairytale
No happy endings
No wind in our sails
But I can't imagine a life without
Breathless moments
Breaking me down, down, down, down

The bed's getting cold and you're not here
The future that we hold is so unclear
But I'm not alive until you call
And I'll bet the odds against it all
Save your advice, 'cause I won't hear
You might be right, but I don't care
There's a million reasons why
I should give you up

But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants

The heart wants what it wants, baby
It wants what it wants, baby
It wants what it wants
It wants what it wants
