i feel alright now
but for how long
what you ask of me
is something i could never be
so for this time
let it be unsaid
so for this time
you ask me gently
can't you be strong
it's the sweetest ache
but far too much for my heart to take
so for this time
chorus
karen, you wanted me
but not the way it was supposed to be
karen, you wanted me
but not the way it was supposed to be
i feel alright now
but for how long
what you ask of me
is something i could never be
so for this time
chorus
karen, you wanted me
but not the way it was supposed to be
karen, you wanted me
but not the way it was supposed to be
karen, you wanted me
but not the way it was supposed to be
karen, you wanted me
but not the way it was supposed to be
karen, you wanted me
but not the way it was supposed to be
