[Verse 1]
Hope of the hopeless—gathering focus
I have no pity for a prison that died
Don't even say it—consider the source again
Your indecision let me make up my mind
The normally vacant will make you contagious
Why does it matter when the human is gone?
Before you bother, I knew I'd master this
So take your time because I know what went wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
There's only room in here for one...
And I've decided it's not you
I had to do what must be done...
You would've done it, too
[Chorus]
Suddenly, I'm feeling strange
I know you want it
Tell me you will never change
I know you want it, too
[Verse 2]
Nobody's out there—you're getting us nowhere
I just remembered why I put you through hell
You might be different—but I didn't ask for this
You know you're crazy when you're talking to yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
There's only room in here for one...
And I've decided it's not you
I had to do what must be done...
You would've done it, too
[Chorus]
Suddenly, I'm feeling strange
I know you want it
Tell me you will never change
I know you want it, too
I know you want it, too—
I know you want it, too—
I know you want it, too
[Bridge]
Why delay or complicate
The gravity of my persuasion?
Look into that part of you
I am you, without hesitation
[Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
There's only room in here for one...
And I've decided it's not you
I had to do what must be done...
You would've done it, too
[Chorus/Outro]
Suddenly, I'm feeling strange
I know you want it
Tell me you will never change
I know you want it, too
I know you want it, too
I know you want it, too
I know you want it, too
Hope of the hopeless—gathering focus
I have no pity for a prison that died
Don't even say it—consider the source again
Your indecision let me make up my mind
The normally vacant will make you contagious
Why does it matter when the human is gone?
Before you bother, I knew I'd master this
So take your time because I know what went wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
There's only room in here for one...
And I've decided it's not you
I had to do what must be done...
You would've done it, too
[Chorus]
Suddenly, I'm feeling strange
I know you want it
Tell me you will never change
I know you want it, too

I know you want it, too—
I know you want it, too—
I know you want it, too

I know you want it, too
I know you want it, too
I know you want it, too
I know you want it, too
