If I Can't Have You

Have you ever wondered
If it smarts when you've hurt and ignored
Oh, the sort that goes away
Even though I waited for you
Oh, how I adore you
You never saw my face
I traced your path each day
We could be always together
Now I watch you bleed
You had all I need
How I love you so
Now we'll never know
If I can't have you
I even did the research
Went to work, learned to flirt
Wore a skirt and faced dirt
And, ah, still you didn't notice
You never focused on me
You never saw my face
I traced your path each day
You never lifted your eyes to me, ah
Now I watch you bleed
You had all I need
How I love you so
Now we'll never know
If I can't have you
If I can't have you
If I can't have you
If I can't have you
