This Way

I don't know why I am this way:
I've always been a shy recluse.
What else is there for me to say?
I've really got no good excuse.

Today the anthem plays, and for now the eagle flies;
But you would see the storm, if you'd open up your eyes.
When freedom's out of style, and you fight for something new,
I'll ring the cracking bell -- 'til at last it breaks in two.

-- c.j. noel

So '90s.

From "I Want It That Way" by BSB


But we are two worlds apart;
Can't reach to your heart,
When you say
'I want it that way.'

Am I your fire,
Your one desire?
Yes, I know it's too late,
But I want it that way.

Now I can see that we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah --
No matter the distance,
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me
You are my fire.

Don't wanna hear you say
'Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,'
I never wanna hear you say,
'I want it that way.'
