You and I

You and I can never be,
If I could only see.
Once I had the chance,
Now I can only glance,
From the skyscrapers at your smiling face.

You and I can never be,
If only you could see.
I haven’t lied to you.
I remain true.
I fool myself and save everyone else.

You and I can never be,
Taunts my unknown enemy.
He’ll know my pain,
It’ll be my gain,
And my loss as I see you.

You and I can never be,
Now I can see.
I want to be there for you,
But everyone else too,
I’m sorry I’m breaking your heart.

You and I can never be,
Don’t you see?
It’s killing you,
It’s killing me too.
But I’ll die to give people a hero.

You and I can never be,
No matter how much we want it to be.
Wait for me,
And we shall see,
That you and I can never be.
