No Chance

I guess it's typical of me
To always want what I can't have.
I guess it's my reality
To find something I want, but need it taken back.

I guess it's written in the stars
To find somebody I adore.
His name's been weighted on my heart for months.
But somehow I know he's not the one.

'Cause the anticipation of watching him leave me,
Crying on the sidewalk down his street,
And the expectations of haunted memories
It's too much for me, too much for me.

I'm giving my heart to a long-lost cause,
Take it and break it, but it's my fault.
To let him in when I know it's wrong,
To set us up just to call it all off.

And I've had so many plans...
...but there's just no chance.

He's held my hand throughout the dark.
He's been my refuge when I'm lost.
He's made an imprint on my heart.
But someday, we'll go our separate ways,
And the imprint stays, but he'll be gone.

'Cause the anticipation of tear-stained cheeks,
Broken heart ballads to cry myself to sleep.
Holding onto him through the memories
It's too much for me, too much for me.

He says it's worth it to just hang on,
But I don't think we can last that long.
I won't give in 'till we call it all off,
But why listen if you know the song?

Why let him in when I know it's wrong?
'Cause there's just no chance.

'Cause if I love you, we can't be friends,
And we both know how this road ends.
But how can I move on? I can't just pretend.
Like I could forget you, like we never met.

I've seen the warnings, and I've seen the signs,
I'll lose you to your fault, you'll lose me to mine.
I know the ending, you'll leave me heartbroken,
But I think I love you, so I'll keep on hoping...

To keep my plans.
Stick with you 'till my world ends.
I'll take the odds, I'll take the chance,
And keep you if I can.
