Why do you love the ones who can't love you in return
The ones that push you away with a list of your faults
And I apologize to you for these things I can not change
And I tell myself maybe if I'm good enough for you maybe you're not right for me
And yet I keep on loving and longing
Wishing and waiting
Wanting you more with each passing day
I see you smile, but not at me
It lowers me
I hear you laugh, not intended for my ears
It drags me down further, if that is possible
The way to find love is to have you finally find me
Please, all I ask is for a chance
A glance my way
A few words here and there
You never know what you have until it's gone
So look harder, dig a little deeper
You never know what will be found
And while I wait longingly and lovingly
wishing and wondering
My heart will hurt and my eyes will cry
But I'll kept my hope up and head held high
I'll try to stay strong and live with my pain
And maybe someday my pain will fade
But if my day never comes
Well I guess I'll have to deal
Yes it will hurt and yes I will cry
But I will trust and I will believe
That someday I will heal
