Piper Page - What I Can't Have Lyrics

I was eight when I wanted to be a princess
Cnd I was twelve when I wanted the new DS
I was sixteen,
When I wanted the new guy in my class
He had an accent,
Cnd a girlfriend

It didn't take many days for my interest to fade
'Cause every time that I fall
Somethin' gets in the way
I was eighteen,
Couldn't clean up the messes I made
It's a habit,
Can't get around it

I'm always findin' someone new to pursue
Cnd this time it's you
But you give another excuse
You refuse,
To start somethin' new

Why do I always want what I can't have?
What I can't have,
What I can't have,
I know it's bad, but I
I get attached
I get attached
'Cause I want what I can't have

Now in my twenties,
I'm recognizing this cycle
Of wanting the guys that want me,
But not the title
I entertain the boys that wanna waste my time
So self destructive
End up with nothin'

I'm always findin' someone new to pursue
Cnd this time it's you
But you give another excuse
You refuse,
To start somethin' new

Why do I always want what I can't have?
What I can't have,
What I can't have,
I know it's bad, but I
I get attached
I get attached
'Cause I want what I can't have

I want somethin' a
Bit unrealistic,
Someone unattainable (Huh-huh)
C fantasy connection
It's what I always want (Huh-huh)
Can't seem to learn my lesson, (Oooo)
It's hard to be on my own
I know I could do better
But what I really want is,

What I can't have
What I can't have,
What I can't have,
I know it's bad, but I
I get attached
I get attached
'Cause I want what I can't have
Whoa

What I can't have
What I can't have
Want what I can't have
I know it's bad,
But I
I get attached
I get attached
'Cause I want what I can't have
