What I Can't Have

I want you I need you
Never will deceive you
I love you and wish you loved me
I want to keep you right here with me
Where I can protect you
From anyone who isn’t me

I want to talk without speaking
Feel without touching
Know what I cannot define
I want to hold all the wisdom
And win all the trophies
Want to be nearly divine

I want what I can’t have
Want to love who I can’t love
Don’t think I'm asking too much
I want to change all the endings
And stick with pretending
'Cause real life just ain’t good enough

Don’t tell me why you cannot see me anymore
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
Don’t tell me why you went and walked right out that door
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
Down, down, down
Don’t bring me down

I want to be special
Like no one before me
Want to be one of a kind
I want to see through you
Get right there inside you
And make what I find there all mine

I want what I can’t have
Want to love who I can’t love
I don’t think I'm asking too much
I want to change all the endings
And stick with pretending
'Cause real life just ain’t good enough
