So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, Blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk on part in the war, For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here. We’re just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found The same old fears. Wish you were here.
Hey Slow it down What do you want from me Whataya want from me Yeah I’m afraid What do you want from me Whataya want from me
There might have been a time when I would give myself away Oh once upon a time I didn’t give a damn But now Here we are So what do you want from me Whataya want from me
[Chorus] Just don’t give up I’m workin’ it out Please don’t give in I won’t let you down It messed me up Need a second to breathe Just keep coming around Hey What do you want from me Whataya you want from me What do you want from me
