Lyrics
Ooohh, oooh, yeah.
I only wanted you to understand,
I only wanted you to treat me as a friend,
And I only wanted you to see me as the women that I am.
My life is short now, I'd rather not pretend.
You wanted me to stay on the straight and narrow.
But you'll regret it everyday of your life.
You've never taken any risks of your own.
Now you're unhappy and alone.
I only wanted you to understand,
I only wanted you to treat me as a friend,
And I only wanted you to finally realize,
And see my sorrow through your own two eyes.
You think the truth lies in your own actions.
But you can't see through your mess.
That there are no rules on how to live my life.
There are no guidelines or set path.
I only wanted you to understand,
I only wanted you to treat me as a friend,
And I only wanted you to see me as the women that I am.
My life is short now, I'd rather not pretend.
The pseudo-support has made not dent on me.
My motivation you have taken.
Oh, why can't you see.
This is not only my destiny,
It is also my reality.
I only wanted you to understand,
I only wanted you to treat me as a friend,
And I only wanted you to finally realize,
And see my sorrow through your own two eyes.
