lyrics

One last night was all I wanted
I laid with you and I pretended I could change your mind
If I stayed long enough, if I kissed you hard enough
If I could look into your eyes maybe you'd see
No one's gonna love you like me

You told me you like you felt like you were just 16 again
And the way we'd go to kiss in secret went right to my head
You were my best friend in the August sun
And you warned me not to fall in love
But getting high in your apartment, singing songs over cups of coffee
I couldn't help myself

And now I see you in the sediment at the bottom of my glass of wine
I feel if I just get through the night, you might need me by the morning
But the sun keeps on rising and I'm alone again

In the middle of the night I saw you, in your kitchen light so warm and red
In the middle of the night I saw you, getting close to me when it all had gone to our heads

With my legs wrapped around you, I kissed you from your counter
I was desperate for your touch
With your arms wrapped around me, I kept you til the morning
I loved you too much

But I'm never gonna have you, you're never gonna have the courage
To just let me, just let me have you
You won't love me, you won't leave me
I hope you leave, I hope you let me go
Cuz I can't say no to you

But I'm never gonna have you
