Why Can\'t I Be the One

Why Can\'t I Be the One

I sit here on my porch listening to the rain

I should be happy but the weather reflects my mood

I sit here despondent while you talk on the phone to some other guy

Why can\'t it be me, why can\'t I be the one you love

Why can\'t I be the one that gets your attention, gets your love

I have so much love to give, so much to make you happy

But you don\'t want me that way, that way in your life

Why can\'t I be the one, the one that makes your heart soar, that lifts you up

Why can\'t it be me, why can\'t it be me

The Universe won\'t answer, can\'t answer me. Can the love we have as friends last forever

I think it can, I think it can

But in the meantime I just ask the unanswerable question

Why can\'t it be me, why can\'t I be the one
