Did think of the days that we used to cry
Laughing and talking only you and I
Those memories as I held your hand
Me thinking I was your only man

Why was I so blind I could not see
I wasn't for you, you wasn't for me
What did I do that you neglected me?
You know I was there when you needed me

But now I see that we can never be
'Cause' you think of me differently
I never thought my heart'd be torn in two
Me thinking you loved me

Why can't you be mine? (Why can't you be mine?)
I thought we were more than just a friend
Why can't you be mine?
My love for you was till the end

I spent my days home thinking what went wrong
Why don't you see what I'm trying to show
That I would love to be your man
Please tell me why, why I can't

I only wish that you would understand
That I can be better than any man
'Cause' I know about you more than anyone else
That's why I want you all for myself

But now I see that we can never be
'Cause' you think of me differently
I never thought my heart'd be torn in two
Me thinking you loved me

Why can't you be mine? (Why can't you be mine?)
I thought we were more than just a friend
Why can't you be mine?
My love for you was till the end

But now I see that we can never be
'Cause' you think of me differently
I never thought my heart'd be torn in two
Me thinking you loved me

Why can't you be mine? (Why can't you be mine?)
I thought we were more than just a friend
Why can't you be mine?
My love for you was till the end

Why can't you be mine? (Why can't you be mine?)
I thought we were more than just a friend
Why can't you be mine?
My love for you was till the end
