Torn between two worlds
We remain apart
No relationship for us to build
No end no start
As I carry on each day
With you in my mind
I keep asking myself
Why is fate so very unkind?
I try to forget you
Act as though I don't care
But it hurts so bad
It's so hard to bear
For you have someone else
Whom you love far more
Yet you want me too
Why, how and what for?
Feelings cannot say
What I'm feeling now inside
My dignity still stands
And I still have my dear pride
No longer can I go on
Feeling how I do
Not knowing what you want
Whether what I need is you?
Like a dying star
I'm drifting alone somewhere
As for me and you
We're not quite there
