Why Can't It Be Mine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Last night I saw you spin around in my head
Turn the lights off and settle down inside
Feeling as far but it always dies in the night
Just close your eyes
Hold your breathe, and then
I wanna believe you
You know that I try
It's just the way that you look sometimes
Oh it's been hard on me
It's only feeling
But after all this time, why can't it be mine?
Do do do do
Oh oh oh
La da da da da da da
And you made up your mind
For the lasting place
One little thought and I'll forget everything
Just one last time before we're all sleep
Reach across the space tonight to me
And I will believe you
It's just the way that you look sometimes
Oh it's been hard on me
It's only feeling
But after all this time, why can't it be mine?
Do do do do
Oh oh oh
La da da da da da da da da
Oh oh oh oh
Why can't it be mine?
Oh oh oh oh
Why can't it be mine?
Oh oh oh oh
Why can't it be mine?
