Someone that I Couldn't Have

It was summer after high school

I was waiting in the swing

You were sitting adjacent to me

You were wearing a black cap

Hiding your face and when our eyes met


A melody kept playing in my head

You started small talk, late-night chats

Learned to love the humor you have

But then when your past returned

I was taken aback because,


It will never be the same

How you look at me

It will never be the same

How those smiles are sweet

I know this will be another hopeless story


It will never be the same

How you glance at me

And even all the trees

Stop dancing with the wind

I've read the lines I know we couldn't be


Then you played my favourite song

Taught me how to play it perfectly

You bring out the best in me

Deep gazes like the depths of the sea

One day, I broke in tears


You found me where I was hiding

Crying against your chest

Hearing every heartbeat

Only love can mend a broken heart

But how can I love?


When I am not your true happiness

But your painful past

It will never be the same

How it used to be

It will never be the same


The first time you looked at me

In the end, it's still a hopeless story

You will never be the same

How you glance at me

In pretenses and secrecy


I know you read the lines

For certain you and me

Isn't forbidden love they used to say

From the start, you can't be touched

"Because you are someone that I couldn't have."
