[Verse 1: Brian]
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way
[Verse 2: Nick]
But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way
[Chorus]
Tell me why
Ain't nothing but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothing but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to hear you say
I want it that way
[Verse 3: AJ]
Am I your fire?
Your one desire
Yes, I know it's too late
But I want it that way
[Chorus]
Tell me why
Ain't nothing but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothing but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to hear you say
I want it that way
[Bridge: Kevin]
Now I can see that we're falling apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance, I want you to know
That deep down inside of me
[Verse 4: Howie]
You are my fire
The one desire
You are, you are, you are, you are
Don't wanna hear you (say)
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake (don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say (oh, yeah)
I want it that way
[Chorus]
Tell me why
Ain't nothing but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothing but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to hear you say (don't want to hear you say)
I want it that way
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to hear you say (never wanna hear you say)
I want it that way
I never want to hear you say
I want it that way
[Outro: AJ]
Cause I want it that way
