[Verse 1: Conor Maynard]
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way
But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
I want it that way

[Chorus: Conor Maynard]
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to hear you say that
I want it that way
You are...
You are...
I want it that way

[Post-Chorus: Conor Maynard]
Ain't nothin' but a—, nothin' but a—, nothin' but a—
I never wanna—, never wanna—, never—, you are
Ain't nothin' but a—, nothin' but a—, nothin' but a—
I want it that way
Ain't nothin' but a—, nothin' but a—, nothin' but a—
I never wanna—, never wanna—, never—, you are
Ain't nothin' but a—, nothin' but a—, nothin' but a—
I never wanna—, never wanna—, never—, you are
Ain't nothin' but a—, nothin' but a—, nothin' but a—
I never wanna—, never wanna—, never—, you are
[Chorus: Conor Maynard]
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to hear you say that
I want it that way
You are...
You are...
I want it that way

[Outro: Conor Maynard]
Don't want to hear you say
No, no, no
Yeah, I don't want to hear you say
I want it that way
(Nothin' but a—, nothin' but a—)
