[Verse 1]
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
That I want it that way

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

[Chorus]
(Tell me why) ain't nothing but a heart ache
(Tell me why) ain't nothing but a mistake
(Tell me why) I never wanna hear you say
That I want it that way

[Verse 2]
Am I your fire
Your one desire?
Yes I know, it's too late
But I want it that way

[Chorus]
(Tell me why) ain't nothing but a heart ache
(Tell me why) ain't nothing but a mistake
(Tell me why) I nеver wanna hear you say
I want it that way
[Verse 3]
Now I can see that we'rе falling 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

[Reprise]
You are my fire
The one desire
You are, you are, you are, you are

[Chorus]
(Tell me why) ain't nothing but a heart ache
(Tell me why) ain't nothing but a mistake
(Tell me why) I never wanna hear you say
Cause I want it that way

[Chorus]
(Tell me why) ain't nothing but a heart ache
(Tell me why) ain't nothing but a mistake
(Tell me why) I never wanna hear you say
Cause I want it that way

Cause I want it that way
