I know I can't have you

Everything was simple,
Everything was fine,
I knew I couldn't have you,
and I knew why.

I tried to move on,
I dated other guys,
But then we'd hang out,
I knew to myself I lied.

You noticed me drifting,
you said "please explain"
But I didn't want to loose you,
So I tried to deal with the pain.

It's hard to be with you,
It gets harder each day,
When I look in your eyes,
I feel my body floating away,

I miss the way it used to be,
You don't feel the change,
You don't know I really love you,
I'm sure to you it's just a game,

As I close my eyes tonight,
I'll pray as I was taught to do,
I'll pray that you realize that,
I love you but I can't have you!
