The door behind me closes-
|
I know for sure this chapter's over
|
I'll never more see my reflection in her loving eyes
|
|
A million times before I've seen
|
When opposites attract to me
|
The flame burns uncontrollably but soon the fire dies
|
But I'm not sure what I'm asking for -
|
Why if I want love do I beg for more?
|
|
Chorus:
|
Guess we always want what we can't get
|
Love just strikes us blind
|
But in the end, we always get what we can't want
|
You'd have thought we'd have learned
|
But we fall for it every time
|
|
It turns me on if she's unreachable or dangerous
|
When what I need and what I lust
|
Are completely different things
|
How many times have I let love slip through my fingers
|
Chasing after promises I know will never keep?
|
|
But I don't know why I can't let go-
|
When my heart says yes
|
But my mind screams no
|
|
Chorus
|
|
I've been looking all my life for answers
|
Questions of the heart I've got to ask her
|
Does she exist or does she not? I wonder...
|
And so my search for her goes on and on and on
|
|
But I don't know why I can't let go-
|
When my heart says yes
|
But my mind screams no
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Guess we always want what we can't get
|
Will I be running around chasing love
|
¡®Till I lose my mind?
|
We always get what we can't want
|
Does anybody - anyone at all feel the same?
