To Someone Special

When I look at you,

I see the reason my chest aches
And the reason my heart hurts
The reason I can't breathe

I see the person who rules my thoughts
And the person who haunts my dreams

And when I get too close,

And I step away
And I back down
And I distance myself

Because we can never be more than just friends

My chest aches
My heart hurts
My lungs burn

Because the world that I saw in vivid color is now in black and white

Because my happiness is leaving me

Because the person I love, I can never have

I love you so much

That my chest aches when you're gone
And my heart hurts from all my love
That my lungs burn, because you've stolen my breath

And though I can't have you, I'll always call you mine
