Because You Can't 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.

What makes something you can't have always look so good

Why does something out of reach seem so fine

What makes you thrill me more than any girl I know

I guess it's just because you can't be mine

Why can't I be contented with what belongs to me

And be satisfied with what's already mine

What makes a stolen moment such a precious thing

I guess it's just because you can't be mine

What makes me always want a woman I can't have

Why does someone else's silver always shine

My passion rises every time you come around

And I guess it's just because you can't be mine
