Unattainable
I don't know what to call you
I don't know what to say
Don't know if I can trust you
Or if this is even okay
Love's not the word,
It can't be the word
I don't think it's even an option for me
But that silly boy,
That beautiful boy
Has got it in his head
That he loves me
Loves me!
Grotesquely green me
This abomination,
Abnormal alien
Who's never been loved,
Never has loved
Who'd be crazy enough, anyways
To fall in love with me?
Do I love him?
Or do I just fear for him?
For stepping into my life,
My private life
Uninvited, unprepared
Muddying the waters
Have I confused this supposed love
With an obligation to protect him?
Not because I love him,
No, it can't be because I love him
But for someone who can't love him
I've sure thought about it enough
But someone like me can't love him
Someone like me has no time for love
So what's all this talk of love?
This unattainable thing
I don't know how to tell you
To pack up and move on
I don't know that I can live with you here
Or live without you when you're gone
This unattainable thing isn't love,
It's me
So silly boy, go on home
Beautiful boy, it's safer there
You don't want something that you can't have
I don't want someone I can't have
Don't want to see you get hurt,
I don't want you caught up in this
Silly boy, don't look back
Beautiful boy, I don't need a hero
I'm an unattainable thing,
An uncatchable catch
Scars on my heart,
With ghastly green flesh
So just leave me be,
So I'll stop aching for more
I won't lead you on
If you just walk out that door
You've done enough, you see
For now this unattainable happiness
Is slowly killing me
