Lyrics:

Verse 1:
You make it hard to breathe.
It's as if I'm suffocating.
And when you're next to me,
I can feel your heart beat through 
my skin.
It makes me sad to think this could 
all be for nothing.
I wish there was a way, a way for 
you to see inside me.
I've never felt this way, about 
anyone or anything. Tell me...

Chorus:
What do I have to do, to make you 
happy?
What do I have to do, to make you 
understand?
What do I have to do, to make you 
want me?
But if I can't make you want me, 
what do I have to do?

Verse 2:
I know exactly what you're thinking.
But I swear this time I will not let
 you down.
I'm not as selfish as I used to be.
That is a part of me that never made
 me proud.
Well right now I think I would try 
anything.
Anything at all to keep you 
satisfied.
God I hope you see what losing you 
would do to me.
All I want is one more chance...tell
 me...

Chorus:
What do I have to do, to make you 
happy?
What do I have to do, to make you 
understand?
What do I have to do, to make you 
want me?
But if I can't make you want me, 
just tell me, tell me!

Bridge/Interlude:
How can I...how can I...how can I...

Chorus:
What do I have to do, to make you 
want me?
What do I have to do, to make you 
understand?
What do I have to do, to make you 
love me?
And if I can't make you love me, 
just tell me,
What do I have to do...to forget 
about you?
