Lyrics
Oh, baby, can't you see? Oh, baby, can't you see? It's never enough, lost in this fire, calling your blood. Unrequited, oh, this love I feel twisting my soul, making it real. You don't want me, but I can let go, dancing alone in the afterglow. Unrequited love is tearing me apart, beating in my chest. Stealing my heart. But for me, darling, it don't belong. Every touch I imagine, soul, fades like a shadow. Just a chase, the dream through the pole. It's pouring rain, but you turn away, bringing the pain. Unrequited, oh, this love I feel twisting my soul, making it real. You don't want me, but I can let go, dancing alone in the afterglow. Unrequited love is tearing me apart, beating in my chest. Stealing my heart. Maybe someday you'll feel it too. This burning flame I hold for you too. Then inflame my home for you. Then I'll sing through the midnight blue. Holding on. Just me. And you. Unrequited. Oh, this love I feel twisting my soul, making it real. You don't want me, but I can let go, dancing alone in the afterglow. Unrequited love. Oh, baby, can't you see? It's stealing my heart. You don't want me, but I can let go, dancing alone in the afterglow. You don't want me, but I can let go, dancing alone in the afterglow. You don't want me, but I can let go, dancing alone in the afterglow. You don't want me, but I can let go, dancing alone in the afterglow. You don't want me, but I can let go, dancing alone in the afterglow. You don't want me, but I can let go, dancing alone in the afterglow. You don't want me, but I can let go, dancing alone in the afterglow. You don't want me, but I can let go, dancing alone in the afterglow. You don't want me, but I can let go, dancing alone in the afterglow.
