I just can't seem to help myself,
I'm head over heels for you.
Addicted to your kiss,
Can't get enough of it.
Absorbed in your arms,
Wrapped in your scent.
I can't stop myself,
I'm drawn to you.
This isn't good for me,
It could be trouble for you.
You draw me into your arms,
And I know he won't understand.
How will I face him,
When I walk away from you?
When I look in his eyes,
And wish it was you looking back at me.
I try to walk away,
I've got to give you up.
But I ache when we're apart,
I must have you.
The scent of your cologne follows me,
Into my sleep,
Laced through my dreams.
I make love to him,
And I close my eyes.
It's your face that I want to see,
Your arms I want to be in.
What am I going to do?
How can I make this right?
You're a forbidden love,
Someone I just can't have.
We can not be together,
Not now, not ever.
I have to quit you,
To walk away,
Give you up,
Cold turkey.
Even a little moment,
A shared glance,
A knowing smile.
It'll pull me back,
Back to your arms,
To your embrace.
I dream of laying my head on your chest,
Hearing your heart beat.
To know that it beats faster,
It beats for me.
But I can't,
I can't have you,
It's not acceptable.
I must turn and say goodbye.
I'll go to him and surrender,
He will have my body,
But you will have my heart.
And I will ache with every day,
Every moment we're apart.
My heart breaks,
From the withdrawl.
