We Always Want What We Can't Get |
| The door behind me closes- |
| I know for sure this chapter’s over |
| I’ll never more see my reflection in her loving eyes |
| A million times before I’ve seen |
| When opposites attract to me The flame burns uncontrollably but soon the fire dies |
| But I’m not sure what I’m asking for — |
| Why if I want love do I beg for more? |
| Guess we always want what we can’t get |
| Love just strikes us blind |
| But in the end, we always get what we can’t want |
| You’d have thought we’d have learned |
| But we fall for it every time |
| It turns me on if she’s unreachable or dangerous |
| When what I need and what I lust |
| Are completely different things |
| How many times have I let love slip through my fingers |
| Chasing after promises I know will never keep? |
| But I don’t know why I can’t let go- |
| When my heart says yes |
| But my mind screams no |
| I’ve been looking all my life for answers |
| Questions of the heart I’ve got to ask her |
| Does she exist or does she not? |
| I wonder… |
| And so my search for her goes on and on and on But I don’t know why I can’t let go- |
| When my heart says yes |
| But my mind screams no Guess we always want what we can’t get |
| Will I be running around chasing love |
| ‘Till I lose my mind? |
| We always get what we can’t want |
| Does anybody — anyone at all feel the same? |
