For Beth

You want what you want
You need what you need
Well, I could never give you what you want
And I could never give you what you need
I tried. How I tried
I lied. Yes, I lied
I even tried to change things just for you
But I could never change things enough for you

There's so many things that I need to say to you
But you have never given me the chance
There must be a reason for the way things have to be
But right now I just sit and wonder why
