Well I know just what it is you want
The way you love and get enough
And then you move on
You play the game of who you need

And learn his name and walk away
To find the next one
You say the things you're looking for
Look past me and towards the door
But darling did you think I wouldn't know? Yeah

[Chorus]
I might not be what you want
I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you need
But I'm gonna be the way

I'm never gonna be the thing you want
I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you need
I'm gonna be your halfway
Halfway
I'll be your halfway
Halfway
I'll be your halfway

You like to close your eyes at night
And picture him and what he'll say
And what he looks like
But all I can think is all the dreams in the world
They can't match up to the real thing
The real thing

[Chorus ]
I might not be what you want
I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you need
But I'm gonna be the way
I'm never gonna be the thing you want
I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you need
I'm gonna be your halfway

"I'm gonna be forever yours"
Don't you dare believe her, no
"I'm gonna be forever yours"
She's always gonna let you go

I could stay up
Wait the whole night
But she's never gonna show

[Chorus]
I might not be what you want
I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you need
But I'm gonna be the way

I'm never gonna be the thing you want
I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you need
I'm gonna be your halfway

I might not be what you want
Baby I won't be what you need
I might not be what you need
But I'm gonna be the way yeah

I'm never gonna be the thing you want
But I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you need
But I'm gonna be your halfway
