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
