Like Romeo and Juliet
Our timing's never right
As I stare out of my window,
How do I make it through the night?

Are we fated to live the rest of our lives
Wonderin' what could've been?
Do we share this piece of heaven-
Where do we fit in?

(And) Why can't I have you?
Tell me why can't I have you?
Was it something that I said?
Have we been mislead?
Oh won't you tell me why can't I have you?

Like walking on the beach at night
But alone just isn't fun
Suppose I'll spend the time just wondering
If you were meant to be the one
Like some cruel joke that the heavens have played
I wanna laugh but start to cry
How could two lives ever be this close
Yet never look in each others eyes

If I have to spend the rest of my days
Walking down these streets alone
Suppose I'll stop, and remember you
And the love for me that you had shown
I'll think of when you said "maybe"
And the hope that that word gave me
But now it's all gone
I wonder what went wrong
Can you take us back?

This house just ain't a home without you
These four walls are closin' in
Do you miss me
Or am I just another memory deep within
