Is this to much to ask for,
when you are so close
and these feelings that I can’t ignore?

I really thought by now,
my lesson I would have learned.
To share my feelings,
only to keep getting burned.

To have no one else, to have no other,
to have you for myself,
only to love one another.

What's the purpose of love,
for I can't take it anymore.
My heart ripped right out of me,
and thrown onto the floor.

Can't you see, I want to be with you!
But I guess some dreams
are never meant to come true.

Am I to be alone,
to keep these feelings for myself?
Am I to be silent,
to share them with no one else?

Is this meant for me,
the fool to be?
