What I Can't Have

That hair, that smile,
those eyes, that chest
The way you look at me
I know it best

The way you try to protect me
from the world
the way you wish there were
things I'd never heard

You try to change your life around
and I'm helping you find the way
but all anyone else can focus on
are your mistakes of yesterday

I know the man that you are now
but how can I get the others to see
that I know one day that you could be
a man great enough to love me
