Each girl thinks
she will be the one
To love you despite
all you do wrong
Each time you make
the same mistakes
But so does she
You think that
to be a good person
Means merely
causing no one harm
But since we're all
responsible
for ourselves
It's impossible to fail
My heart is wide
open and I'll never
give up hoping
Not for your love
just for you to grow up
Now there's
one more thing
you need to know
Before the final
curtains close
It is cruel to look
into a girl's eyes that
way you looked in mine
Unless you want her
to fall in love with you
It is cruel to want her
to fall in love
If you can't
love her too
I know you can't
love me too
Each girl I've told
has been unsurprised
They learned as
I to avoid your eyes
Now only knowing
I can never win
Would I fall
in them again
It is cruel to look
into a girl's eyes
that way you
looked in mine
Unless you want her
to fall in love with you
It is cruel to want
her to fall in love
If you can't
love her too
