Unrequited Love

Yuna Yuna

Sometimes you find yourself trying to let go of something
But it's like, you have been swimming on the ocean for a very very long time
And you feel like you belong there
You are one with the waves
The warmth of the water
And your body moves in sync with the ocean
And you swim around just trying to stay afloat
Then you get tired and you start to drown
And you swim back to land
When you get there you just feel so heavy because you lost touch with gravity for so long
And you collapse on the beach as you try to find balance again
And then your feet finds gravity
You stand up and you look at the horizon one last time
And you just know that no matter how beautiful the sea was
And how good it made you feel
It was never yours to keep
And somedays you'll miss it, you know
And you feel yourself moving with the waves and you dream of diving in
Then you realize your feet was meant for land
And not cut out for the ocean
Maybe you're meant to climb trees, or hike hills, or just run really fast
Letting go is not easy
There's nothing quite like swimming in the ocean
Just like how it's natural for your feet to find gravity
It's natural for you to let go
And find your true purpose in life again
The sea is the sea
And you are just you
I have to let go
But sometimes I find myself waking up at the beach again

Only when I look into your eyes
My senses ignite
I feel alive
I was waiting for an answer
Like a feather falling
From the sky

You don't want to belong to me
'Cause freedom feels better
Then I could give
You love inadequately
But you steal hearts like mine
Perfectly

Why you gotta be—
Why you gotta be my unrequited love, unrequited love
Why can't our love be—
Why can't our love be possible?

For as long as I can remember
Like oil and water
We collide
But you don't seem to want forever
This adventure
Was only real to my eyes

You don't want to listen to me
'Cause freedom sounds better
And I can see you love inadequately
But you steal hearts like mine
Perfectly

Why you gotta be—
Why you gotta be my unrequited love, unrequited love
Why can't our love be—
Why can't our love be possible?

You're a man with excuses
'Cause we've had something real
But it was only what I feel alone
Oh, you're a man with your muses
Always wanting something new
And I was just someone that you could use

Why you gotta be—
Why you gotta be my unrequited love, unrequited love
Why can't our love be—
Why can't our love be possible?
