We Always Want What We Can`t Get Lyrics

We Always Want What We Can`t Get lyrics

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?
