I can't believe we came this close
And we thought the stars finally shone in our favor
I wrote a list of all that I wanted and you appeared
Your heart was open, I was invited
But it was love unrequited
I wish that I could want you like you want me
I wish that I could want you like you want me
I met another, and I fell hard
A broken man said I could mend this heart
And we thought the world finally was ours for the taking
I walked the surface and tried to go deeper
See I was the bait and he wasn't biting
'Cause it was love unrequited
I wish that you could want me like I want you
I wish that you could want me like I want you
(Love, love) love, love, love, love
To be loved, to be loved, oh
To be loved, to be loved, oh
But it was love unrequited
I wish that you could want me like I want you
I wish that you could want me like I want you
But it was love unrequited
I wish that I could want you like you want me
I wish that I could want you like you want me
Your heart was open, I was invited
But it was love unrequited
