What I Can't Have

I always seem to want what I can't have,
And maybe...maybe that's just me.
Or maybe that's just you--
Maybe you taught me to want what's out of reach.
So, I wonder, where exactly does that leave me?
I've got my heart on my sleeve, the truth in my eyes--
Do you know, can you tell?
I dance around it like a gpysy would a camp fire,
'Round and 'round until the music stops or fades away.
If you understand,if you see through this veil that I wear
You don't seem to let on at all, not even a little.
Yet when you look at me sometimes,there's fire in your eyes
And I can't help wonder what you're feeling or not feeling
Because every now and then, I look at you, looking at me
And I find something in your gaze that I don't expect to see
It's quite inconsistant,and it's something that I can't name
It's a mystery, just like you
And I keep having to remind myself that I'm a fool
Because I always seem to want what I can't have...
