  • 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 Writer/s: BRIAN HOWES, CHRIS DAUGHTRY
