"Ludwig Wittgenstein's Cry"

For everyday I fall deeper with everything you do
For every time i get closer I fall again for you
I try each night to forget you, set myself free from this
Unsavory winter of wanting someone else's - bliss

I fool myself each morning - everything is alright
I'll stop myself from wanting to take her home each night
I'll do my best to fight it, i know that she is not mine
Though every time I see her, in my eyes she's sweetest wine

A loving force- a voyeur- this is what I'm reduced to
Forced by self to love from far a pale and a fading rue
A shadowed heart- a broken heart- wanting just to be loved
But as my love belongs to another- can this be solved?

Each night I take to dreamland every woe and want of love
Come morning as I see her again, I fall in love
A fool playing a fool's game what chance do I have?
For her to take me as I am and be the one she loves

How i wish you would take all of me
But reality bites, we're not meant to be
You are a whole, I but an entity
Fated to see I can't have what makes me happy

How I wish that you could love me
But reality bites, your love is he
You are loved, I a nobody
Fated to fall deeper with someone that should not be
