She Belongs To You

Unrequited love is a one-sided affection which is not reciprocated. It can be extremely painful to have a strong devotion to someone when you know those feelings will never be returned. Human emotions are very complex. We usually have little control over them and can find people desirable for many reasons such as physical beauty, charm, intelligence, wit and status. Although unrequited love is often a romantic theme in poetry, literature, music and movies, it can have a dark side. The inability of the unrequited lover to express and fulfill emotional needs may lead to feelings of depression, anxiety and low self-esteem.

The recipient of this unwanted love may also suffer from feelings of frustration and guilt or may unscrupulously use the circumstances to their own advantage. In any case, it's a hopeless situation for the unrequited lover where the person they want the most is usually the person they're best off doing without.

Of all the wounds, the greatest pain

Is not to love, but love in vain

I hide in the shadows

And I watch her through the window

I live in a dream like a lot of fools do

I watch her go walking by

She looks so good

With her head up high

But she belongs to you

I think of all the things

That I'm longing just to tell her

And I wonder what she'd say

If she only knew

But what if she just laughed at me

Told me our love could never be

Cos she belongs to you

She's in love with you

I can’t get her to notice me

She's in love with you

She could never be mine

I live in a dream but for you it's real

I can't imagine how good that feels

She belongs to you

I lie awake at night

And I can only think about her

I can't take any more

Of what I'm going through

The pain and the loneliness

I never wanted it to be like this

But she belongs to you

She's in love with you

I can’t get her to notice me

She's in love with you

She could never be mine

I live in a dream but for you it's real

I can't imagine how good that feels

She belongs to you

I see you out on the street with her

Hand in hand and I just can't stand it

I turn my head and close my eyes

To hold back the tears
