[Verse 1]
It's the wanting you, never getting you
Keeps me wanting you
Missing you, just to picture you
Is what gets me through
Fit for you, I was meant for you
What I was sent to do, meant to do
Wasn't meant for you
Hope I set the ship right
'Cause if I never had you
Then I could never lose you
Do you know what might happen
If I decide to choose you?
Then the world may just stop spinning
It may just well be the ending
Talking all about existence, who knows?
But I cannot see tomorrow
If you're not in my tomorrow, uh-oh
[Chorus]
I'm tryna save the world
How can I when
You belong to me, I belong to them?
Who do I give me to? Who do I let win?
You or the world?
You or the world?
[Post-Chorus]
Your light shines so bright it's like two stars colliding
We'll only survive if we fight it, don't fight it
Your light shines so bright it's like two stars colliding
We'll only survive if we fight it, don't fight it, yeah
[Verse 2]
'Cause if I really have to
Then you know I would choose you
Do you know what would happen
If I ever lose you?
Then my heart would just stop beating
And my mind would just stop thinking
And my strengths would turn to weakness, you know
That I cannot see tomorrow
If you're not in my tomorrow, uh-oh
[Chorus]
I gotta save the world
How can I when
You belong to me but I belong to them?
Who do I give me to? Who do I let win?
You or the world?
You are my world
It's the wanting you, never getting you
Keeps me wanting you
Missing you, just to picture you
Is what gets me through
Fit for you, I was meant for you
What I was sent to do, meant to do
Wasn't meant for you
Hope I set the ship right
'Cause if I never had you
Then I could never lose you
Do you know what might happen
If I decide to choose you?
Then the world may just stop spinning
It may just well be the ending
Talking all about existence, who knows?
But I cannot see tomorrow
If you're not in my tomorrow, uh-oh
[Chorus]
I'm tryna save the world
How can I when
You belong to me, I belong to them?
Who do I give me to? Who do I let win?
You or the world?
You or the world?
[Post-Chorus]
Your light shines so bright it's like two stars colliding
We'll only survive if we fight it, don't fight it
Your light shines so bright it's like two stars colliding
We'll only survive if we fight it, don't fight it, yeah
[Verse 2]
'Cause if I really have to
Then you know I would choose you
Do you know what would happen
If I ever lose you?
Then my heart would just stop beating
And my mind would just stop thinking
And my strengths would turn to weakness, you know
That I cannot see tomorrow
If you're not in my tomorrow, uh-oh
[Chorus]
I gotta save the world
How can I when
You belong to me but I belong to them?
Who do I give me to? Who do I let win?
You or the world?
You are my world
