i can't have you
i know that
but that doesn't stop
my wretched heart
from wanting different
thinking back, it wasn't
the idea of you that i wanted
i wanted you
but you're the one thing i can't have
thinking back, i let you
slip through my fingers
like sand
i now try to grasp something

but i get nothing
thinking back, i should've
told you the truth
then maybe i would've
had a shot at everything
i've wanted and more
my one.
you were my one,
until you weren't.
