Lyrics

You are my fire
The one, desire
Believe when I say
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 nothin' but a heart ache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear 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

Chorus
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heart ache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
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
The one, desire
You are, you are, you are

Don't wanna hear you say..

Ain't nothin' but a heart ache, (yeah)
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
(Don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say, (oh, yeah)
I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heart ache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
(Don't wanna hear you say)
I want it that way

Tell me why..
Ain't nothin' but a heart ache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
(Never wanna hear you say)
I want it that way

Cause I want it that way
