It always seemed that I was sorry for the things that I did But never did a thing about it till I let you in It's kinda funny: by the time that I was falling apart You came and put me back together, now... 'Cause what I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You've been offering As days go by I've finally become what you want me to be I still remember all the stupid things that I've said and done But still, you stuck around with me when all your friends said, "Run!" Givin' me a name; I found myself inside all the flames Becoming everything for you again is... What I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You've been offering As days go by I've finally become what you want me to be Don't tell me you saw it all along God help me, I never knew it alone Guess I was wrong What I want And what I need Has now become the same thing You've been offering As days go by I've finally become what you want me to be And what I need Has now become the same thing You've been offering You've taken me And shaped me to become what you want me to be
