The one desire,
Believe when I say,
I want it that way.
But we are two worlds apart,
I can't reach to your heart,
When you say,
That I want it that way.
CHORUS
Tell me why (ain't nothin' but a heartache),
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
Now I can see that we're 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…
You are, you are, you are, you are…
Don't wanna hear you say…
Ain't nothin' but a heartache,
Ain't nothin' but a mistake,
I never wanna hear you say,
I want it that way.
CHORUS
