I want someone I cannot have.
same story, different tale.
time spent with her, I'm elated
time apart, a bitter hell.
I want someone I cannot have.
her beauty takes my breath away
but she belongs to someone else
it be unconscionable to stay.
I want someone I cannot have.
so I try to turn and go
but every fiber of my being
just screams, "NO".
I want someone I cannot have.
this will kill me in the end
so I'll try to flip the script
and make her just a friend.
