[Intro: AJ]

Yeah

[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: Nick, All]

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a heartache

Tell me why

Ain't nothing but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way

[Verse 3: AJ, AJ & Brian]

Am I your fire?

Your one desire

Yes, I know it's too late

But I want it that way

[Chorus: AJ, All, Brian]

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a heartache

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way

[Bridge: Kevin, Kevin & AJ, All]

Now I can see that we've fallen 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, Nick, All]

You are my fire

The one desire

You are (You are, you are, you are)

Don't wanna hear you say

[Break: All, Nick]

Ain't nothin' but a heartache (Hey, yeah)

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: Brian, All, Nick, AJ]

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a heartache

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say (Don't wanna 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 wanna hear you say (Never wanna hear you say, yeah)

I want it that way

[Outro: AJ]

'Cause I want it that way
