Because I Can't Have You

I was fine, just a guy living on my own
Waiting for the sky to fall
Then you called and changed it all
Doll

Velvet lips and the eyes to pull me in
We both know you'd already win
Mm, you're original sin

You fooled me once with your eyes now honey,
You fooled me twice with your lies and I say

Ryan smiles like Ryan doesn't care
He lives in a world so unaware
Does he know that my destiny lies with him?

Oh Ryan
Are you saving me?

Waking up to a kiss and you're on your way
I really hope that you would stay
But you left and went your own way
Babe

I don't mind take your time, I've got things to do
Besides sit around at wait for you
Oh and I hope you do too

You fooled me once with your eyes now honey,
You fooled me twice with your lies and I say

Ryan smiles like Ryan doesn't care
He lives in a world so unaware
Does he know that my destiny lies with him?

Ryan, oh Ryan
Are you saving me?

And it's killing me inside
Consuming all my time
You've left me blind
And when I think I'm right
You took away my pride
You cast it all aside

Ryan smiles like Ryan doesn’t care
He lives in a world so unaware
Does he know that my destiny lies with him?

Oh Ryan
Are you saving me?


Brendon set his pen down, leaned back in his chair to admire his work, and smiled.

And somewhere, Brendon supposed, Ryan smiled too.
