How can I lose what I don’t have?
And what I really want, I can’t have.
So how come it hurts so bad…
When I see all that I’ve never had.

Tears streaming down my face…
All the pain holding in place.
Please I plea the cold fire smother…
I cry when you go home to another.

It burns every time we touch—like ice and fire.
It makes me weak, weak with desire.
I can’t control the way I feel…
Actions are true, but are they for real?

You know I would do anything for you…
It’s because I love you, it’s true.
No one else will do…
Tell me the truth—the way you feel, too.

When you come around, my walls fall down…
Breathless and speechless, I slowly drown.
So smooth, slick, and cool…
Finish what you started, don’t be cruel.

I can’t stand being without…
Life without you, I’d die; no doubt.
What is it about you that makes me lose control?
I can’t seem to find the answer the answer to my soul.

So why can’t you see?
Why can’t we just be?
No matter how hard I wish, it’ll never be…
Cause you don’t belong to me…
