This Is What You Wanted Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, hey
There's no need to panic
This is just how it is
Your pulse is fast and frantic
And it feels like you'll explode

[Verse 2]
This is what you wanted
This is here and now
This is what you came for
But you leave disappointed
Cracked skin and furrowed brow

[Verse 3]
Hey, hey, hey
This is what you wanted
This is why you came
This is what you asked for
Yes, I heard you beg
And you came
And you broke it, threw it
Out of the room
Flushed it, down the toilet
Even though it was your precious
The last thing to call your own

See Placebo Live

Get tickets as low as $60

[Verse 4]
Hey, hey, hey
This is what you wanted
And you got it, now you hate it
'Causе it's a disappointment
Your expectations wеre way too fucking high
Now you're angry, frustrated
You've created your own special hell
Where it's arctic, and it's barren
And it's silent, and it's white
Your own prison cell

[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey
There's no need to panic

This song bio is unreviewed

“I guess for me, This Is What You Wanted, it’s quite an ambiguous track, but that for me, it’s quite a simple thing. It’s a song about not blaming other people for your own mistakes. I’m kind of talking to myself in this song. I’ve done that since Song To Say Goodbye, you know, from time to time, so I’m kind of having a dialogue with myself and I suppose what I’m saying to myself is just, you can’t blame other people for your choices, this is what you wanted.” – Brian Molko
