A million miles apart
A thousand hopes away
I may only have one dream
But still it begins to stray

Why must I always want something
That I can never have
Why must I always want to sing
When my voice is cracked
Why must I dream about you
Every night of every day
Even though my love is true
You'll never hear me say

You're all I ever think about
All I ever see
You're all I ever dream about
All I want right here with me
You're the only thing I care about
And everything I want to be
But you'll always be something
That I can't have

Why is it that
You're my whole life and more
But yet you're only something
That I've been dreaming for

You're everything
I want out of life
And yet
You don't know my name
You're everything
I love in life
But I'm just the same old thing

Why must I always want something
That I can never have
Why must I always want to sing
When my voice is cracked
Why must I dream about you
Every night of every day
Even though my love is true
You'll never hear me say

You're all I ever think about
All I ever see
You're all I ever dream about
All I want right here with me
You're the only thing I care about
And everything I want to be
But you'll always be something
That I can't have

You're perfect
And funny
And all your own
Every girl on earth
Completely adores you
And I am all alone

Why must I always want something
That I can never have
Why must I always want to sing
When my voice is cracked
Why must I dream about you
Every night of every day
Even though my love is true
You'll never hear me say

You're all I ever think about
All I ever see
You're all I ever dream about
All I want right here with me
You're the only thing I care about
And everything I want to be
But you'll always be something
That I can't have

You'll always be that something
That perfect little something
That I can't ever have
