When I go to sleep,
I see you in my dreams,
It feels so real,
But it's not what it seems,
I love you, but you don't love me,
Why does it have to be this way?

I want you to be my girl,
But you just want to be friends,
I thought for a while,
That my loneliness would end,
But I guess I was wrong,
It's been so long,
Since I felt love,
Why does it have to be this way?

I want to hold you in my arms,
Away from danger, away from harm,
I want to be with you,
All night and day,
I could be yours and you could be mine,
I've waited for love
For the longest time,
Why does it have to be this way?

It doesn't have to be this way.
