How'd You Have Me

Jimmy Eat World · Damage [2013]

I saved a room of courage and I'll spend it now

But all for what I ask myself

No it doesn't feel than an answer matters

Oh I thought I needed you to give me strength

With things I hoped you'd say

But as you stay quiet I just wonder



Only one thing left I wished I knew

How did you have me and I only got you?

If there's all bad timing and there's no control

I'm gonna do anything,

Gonna do everything I want

From now on



None of you will change your voice

You change your face

Scared to say what's wrong

But we kept going on yeah

Kept going on like

Two adult children engaged in separate play

You can run down all those days to me

Run through the whole year but why?



Only one thing left I wished I knew

How did you have me and I only got you?

If it's all bad timing and there's no control

I'm gonna do anything,

Gonna do everything I want

From now on



No one else would be as patient

Or at least be so forgiving

I'm not curious if all of your heart was

You can talk and I might listen

Hate the ones you show the present

I'm done living, now her life is hers



Only one thing left I wished I knew

How did you have me and I only got you?

If it's all bad timing and there's no control

I'm gonna do anything,

Gonna do everything I want

From now on
