Lyrics
CAN'T BE REAL WHAT IT IS YOU FEEL FOR WHAT
I HAVE GOT TO BE ANYTHING YOUR NOT
I TRY EVEN HARDER TO STAY BY YOUR SIDE
BUT YOU WON'T ALLOW ME TO GET IN YOUR WAY
I FALL FLAT ON MY FACE TO MAKE YOU STAY
AND I TRY EVEN HARDER TO STAY BY YOUR SIDE
IT'S NOT THE WAY THAT I EXPECTED IT TO BE
REMINDED BY YOUR SIGHT
I THOUGHT IT WOULD'VE LAST FOREVER
WHY CAN'T
IT'S NOT THE WAY THAT I EXPECTED IT TO BE
REMINDED BY YOUR SIGHT
I THOUGHT IT WOULD'VE LAST FOREVER
WHY CAN'T I
FORSEE YOUR WILL, I'M TRYING TO FILL YOUR
ENDLESS NEEDS THAT'S WHERE
YOU'LL SUCCEED, THOUGH I'LL
TRY EVEN HARDER TO STAY BY YOUR SIDE
BUT YOU WON'T ALLOW ME TO GET IN YOUR WAY
I FALL FLAT ON MY FACE TO MAKE YOU STAY
I TRY EVEN HARDER TO STAY BY YOUR SIDE
IT'S NOT THE WAY THAT I EXPECTED IT TO BE
REMINDED BY YOUR SIGHT
I THOUGHT IT WOULD'VE LAST FOREVER
WHY CAN'T
IT'S NOT THE WAY THAT I EXPECTED IT TO BE
REMINDED BY YOUR SIGHT
I THOUGHT IT WOULD'VE LAST FOREVER
WHY CAN'T I
