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

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

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

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

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?
