[Intro – low baritone almost spoken, bass pulse, dim keys] [Verse 1] You say you want the quiet kind of man The one who folds his hunger like a shirt You wear that careful smile for everyone Then look at me like you could take the hurt I watched you talk yourself into the light While your body voted for the dark [Pre-Chorus] Don’t waste that pretty story I already read the page You don’t want safe You want stayed [Chorus] I know what you want when the room goes still Not a boy who asks, not a man who kneels You want the voice that names it without fear The hands that hold you through the thing you hide You want to be seen and still be kept I know what you want Say it or don’t I already do [Verse 2] You pick the good ones so the world stays clean Then come to me with midnight on your mouth You want the storm that doesn’t wreck the house The heat that stays after the words run out I don’t need the confession on your lips I felt it when you didn’t pull away [Pre-Chorus] Stop dressing it in manners It never fooled my blood You don’t want soft You want understood [Chorus] I know what you want when the lights go thin Not a promise sweet, not a borrowed skin You want the man who doesn’t flinch or flee Who wants you loud and still lets you breathe You want to come undone and still be home I know what you want Come closer then I already do [Bridge – whispered over bass] You can keep the lie for morning Keep the name they think you are In this dark you don’t have to ask I know I know I know [Final Chorus] I know what you want and I won’t pretend This isn’t kindness wearing teeth again It’s the hunger meeting hunger in the quiet It’s the truth you never give the daylight Stay if you mean it Leave if you don’t I know what you want And I want it too [Outro – baritone fade] I know… I know what you want.
