I lie awake in thought
A fractured shell of what I once was
Thinking about what could have been
Thinking about what never was
Contemplating what I want in life
I now realize it's simply you
But I also know that's what I can't have
I'm going to live in discontent
I'll never find someone I love like you
I'll have to love someone else differently
Maybe the next person I love will finally be me

But I also know that's what I can't have
I'm going to live in discontent
I'll never find someone I love like you
I'll have to love someone else differently
Maybe the next person I love will finally be me
