What I Want

Lyrics Translation

I was dependin' on somebody else for so long
I need to find out who I really am and what I want
I am still bleedin', the cuts are still healin', ah-ah
And that's just somethin' that I gotta do on my own

You're the right guy at the wrong time (Fuck)
I hate that our timing's not right
Summer night skies, how the time flies (yeah)
You could've been all mine

I'm not ready to love you
The way that I want to
I don't want you to get hurt, no
'Cause it's not what you deserve
I'm not ready to love you
The way that I want to
I just need a little time now
To find out what I want

What I want, what I want, what I want
I just need a little time now
What I want, what I want, what I want
I need time to figure out
What I want, what I want, what I want
I just need a little time now (woah, oh)
To find out what I want

Me in your shirt starin' out of the window at your place (your-your place)
You comin' back from the kitchen with that smile on your face
I love how you see me, and I hate that we can't be, ah-ah
The version of us in the future just because I need space

You're the right guy at the wrong time (Fuck)
I hate that our timing's not right
Summer night skies, how the time flies (yeah)
You could've been all mine

I'm not ready to love you
The way that I want to
I don't want you to get hurt, no
'Cause it's not what you deserve
I'm not ready to love you
The way that I want to
I just need a little time now
To find out what I want

What I want, what I want, what I want
I just need a little time now
What I want, what I want, what I want
I need time to figure out
What I want, what I want, what I want
I just need a little time now (woah, oh)
To find out what I want

I'm not ready to love you
The way that I want to
I just need a little time now
To find out what I want

I was dependin' on somebody else for so long
Eu estava dependendo de outra pessoa por tanto tempo
I need to find out who I really am and what I want
Eu preciso descobrir quem eu realmente sou e o que eu quero
I am still bleedin', the cuts are still healin', ah-ah
Eu ainda estou sangrando, as feridas ainda estão cicatrizando, ah-ah
And that's just somethin' that I gotta do on my own
E isso é algo que eu tenho que fazer sozinho
You're the right guy at the wrong time (Fuck)
Você é o cara certo no momento errado (Droga)
I hate that our timing's not right
Eu odeio que nosso tempo não seja certo
Summer night skies, how the time flies (yeah)
Céus de noite de verão, como o tempo voa (sim)
You could've been all mine
Você poderia ter sido todo meu
I'm not ready to love you
Eu não estou pronto para te amar
The way that I want to
Do jeito que eu quero
I don't want you to get hurt, no
Eu não quero que você se machuque, não
'Cause it's not what you deserve
Porque não é o que você merece
I'm not ready to love you
Eu não estou pronto para te amar
The way that I want to
Do jeito que eu quero
I just need a little time now
Eu só preciso de um pouco de tempo agora
To find out what I want
Para descobrir o que eu quero
What I want, what I want, what I want
O que eu quero, o que eu quero, o que eu quero
I just need a little time now
Eu só preciso de um pouco de tempo agora
What I want, what I want, what I want
O que eu quero, o que eu quero, o que eu quero
I need time to figure out
Eu preciso de tempo para descobrir
What I want, what I want, what I want
O que eu quero, o que eu quero, o que eu quero
I just need a little time now (woah, oh)
Eu só preciso de um pouco de tempo agora (woah, oh)
To find out what I want
Para descobrir o que eu quero
Me in your shirt starin' out of the window at your place (your-your place)
Eu na sua camisa olhando pela janela do seu lugar (seu-seu lugar)
You comin' back from the kitchen with that smile on your face
Você voltando da cozinha com aquele sorriso no rosto
I love how you see me, and I hate that we can't be, ah-ah
Eu amo como você me vê, e odeio que não podemos ser, ah-ah
The version of us in the future just because I need space
A versão de nós no futuro só porque eu preciso de espaço
You're the right guy at the wrong time (Fuck)
Você é o cara certo no momento errado (Droga)
I hate that our timing's not right
Eu odeio que nosso tempo não seja certo
Summer night skies, how the time flies (yeah)
Céus de noite de verão, como o tempo voa (sim)
You could've been all mine
Você poderia ter sido todo meu
I'm not ready to love you
Eu não estou pronto para te amar
The way that I want to
Do jeito que eu quero
I don't want you to get hurt, no
Eu não quero que você se machuque, não
'Cause it's not what you deserve
Porque não é o que você merece
I'm not ready to love you
Eu não estou pronto para te amar
The way that I want to
Do jeito que eu quero
I just need a little time now
Eu só preciso de um pouco de tempo agora
To find out what I want
Para descobrir o que eu quero
What I want, what I want, what I want
O que eu quero, o que eu quero, o que eu quero
I just need a little time now
Eu só preciso de um pouco de tempo agora
What I want, what I want, what I want
O que eu quero, o que eu quero, o que eu quero
I need time to figure out
Eu preciso de tempo para descobrir
What I want, what I want, what I want
O que eu quero, o que eu quero, o que eu quero
I just need a little time now (woah, oh)
Eu só preciso de um pouco de tempo agora (woah, oh)
To find out what I want
Para descobrir o que eu quero
I'm not ready to love you
Eu não estou pronto para te amar
The way that I want to
Do jeito que eu quero
I just need a little time now
Eu só preciso de um pouco de tempo agora
To find out what I want
Para descobrir o que eu quero
I was dependin' on somebody else for so long
Dependía de alguien más durante tanto tiempo
I need to find out who I really am and what I want
Necesito descubrir quién soy realmente y qué quiero
I am still bleedin', the cuts are still healin', ah-ah
Todavía estoy sangrando, las heridas aún están sanando, ah-ah
And that's just somethin' that I gotta do on my own
Y eso es algo que tengo que hacer por mi cuenta
You're the right guy at the wrong time (Fuck)
Eres el chico correcto en el momento equivocado (Maldición)
I hate that our timing's not right
Odio que nuestro tiempo no sea el correcto
Summer night skies, how the time flies (yeah)
Cielos de noche de verano, cómo vuela el tiempo (sí)
You could've been all mine
Podrías haber sido todo mío
I'm not ready to love you
No estoy lista para amarte
The way that I want to
De la manera que quiero
I don't want you to get hurt, no
No quiero que te lastimes, no
'Cause it's not what you deserve
Porque no es lo que mereces
I'm not ready to love you
No estoy lista para amarte
The way that I want to
De la manera que quiero
I just need a little time now
Solo necesito un poco de tiempo ahora
To find out what I want
Para descubrir qué quiero
What I want, what I want, what I want
Lo que quiero, lo que quiero, lo que quiero
I just need a little time now
Solo necesito un poco de tiempo ahora
What I want, what I want, what I want
Lo que quiero, lo que quiero, lo que quiero

Lo que quiero, lo que quiero, lo que quiero
I just need a little time now (woah, oh)
Solo necesito un poco de tiempo ahora (vaya, oh)
To find out what I want
Para descubrir qué quiero

You comin' back from the kitchen with that smile on your face
Tú volviendo de la cocina con esa sonrisa en tu cara
I love how you see me, and I hate that we can't be, ah-ah
Amo cómo me ves, y odio que no podamos ser, ah-ah

Ich habe mich so lange auf jemand anderen verlassen
I need to find out who I really am and what I want
Ich muss herausfinden, wer ich wirklich bin und was ich will
I am still bleedin', the cuts are still healin', ah-ah
