Lyric We Always Want What We Can t Get

The door behind me closes-
I know for sure this chapter s over
I ll never more see my reflection in her loving eyes

A million times before I ve seen
When opposites attract to me
The flame burns uncontrollably but soon the fire dies
But I m not sure what I m asking for -
Why if I want love do I beg for more?

Chorus:
Guess we always want what we can t get
Love just strikes us blind
But in the end, we always get what we can t want
You d have thought we d have learned
But we fall for it every time

It turns me on if she s unreachable or dangerous
When what I need and what I lust
Are completely different things
How many times have I let love slip through my fingers
Chasing after promises I know will never keep?

But I don t know why I can t let go-
When my heart says yes
But my mind screams no

Chorus

I ve been looking all my life for answers
Questions of the heart I ve got to ask her
Does she exist or does she not? I wonder...
And so my search for her goes on and on and on

But I don t know why I can t let go-
When my heart says yes
But my mind screams no

Chorus

Guess we always want what we can t get
Will I be running around chasing love
¡®Till I lose my mind?
We always get what we can t want
Does anybody - anyone at all feel the same?
