Unrequited Love

Sometimes you find yourself trying to let go of something

But it's like, you have been swimming on the ocean for a very very long time

And you feel like you belong there

You are one with the waves

The warmth of the water

And your body moves in sync with the ocean

And you swim around just trying to stay afloat

Then you get tired and you start to drown

And you swim back to land

When you get there you just feel so heavy because you lost touch with gravity for so long

And you collapse on the beach as you try to find balance again

And then your feet finds gravity

You stand up and you look at the horizon one last time

And you just know that no matter how beautiful the sea was

And how good it made you feel

It was never yours to keep

And somedays you'll miss it, you know

And you feel yourself moving with the waves and you dream of diving in

Then you realize your feet was meant for land

And not cut out for the ocean

Maybe you're meant to climb trees, or hike hills, or just run really fast

Letting go is not easy

There's nothing quite like swimming in the ocean

Just like how it's natural for your feet to find gravity

It's natural for you to let go

And find your true purpose in life again

The sea is the sea

And you are just you

I have to let go

But sometimes I find myself waking up at the beach again

Only when I look into your eyes

My senses ignite

I feel alive

I was waiting for an answer

Like a feather falling

From the sky

You don't want to belong to me

'Cause freedom feels better

Then I could give

You love inadequately

But you steal hearts like mine

Perfectly

Why you gotta be—

Why you gotta be my unrequited love, unrequited love

Why can't our love be—

Why can't our love be possible?

For as long as I can remember

Like oil and water

We collide

But you don't seem to want forever

This adventure

Was only real to my eyes

You don't want to listen to me

'Cause freedom sounds better

And I can see you love inadequately

But you steal hearts like mine

Perfectly

Why you gotta be—

Why you gotta be my unrequited love, unrequited love

Why can't our love be—

Why can't our love be possible?

You're a man with excuses

'Cause we've had something real

But it was only what I feel alone

Oh, you're a man with your muses

Always wanting something new

And I was just someone that you could use

Why you gotta be—

Why you gotta be my unrequited love, unrequited love

Why can't our love be—

Why can't our love be possible?
