Craving (I Only Want What I Can't Have)

t.A.T.u.
Dangerous and Moving (2005)
Interscope/Universal

When I left you, I flew

Did you fly too?

And nakedness befell my way

Only seen in light of day

I only want what I can't have

I only need what I don't want

I only want what I can't have

I only need what I don't want

And creativity, it soaks my soul

I asked not to be alone

You don't have to ask me for my hand

I already know where I stand

I only want what I can't have

I only need what I don't want

I only want what I can't have

I only need what I don't want

And consequences in the future

And feeling is now

And I can't feel the future

But I can be there for you now

Permanent December

Miley Cyrus
Can't Be Tamed (2010)

This feels like a permanent December

So much colder than I can remember

When I get you back

This time I swear that I won't

Won't ever let you go

Paradise

Vanessa Carlton

Be Not Nobody (2002)

Once upon a year gone by

she saw herself give in

Every time she closed her eyes

she saw what could have been

Well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds

when covers tucked in tight

Funny when the bottom drops

how she forgets to fight... To fight

And it's one more day in paradise

One more day in paradise

As darkness quickly steals the light

that shined within her eyes

She slowly swallows all her fear

and soothes her mind with lies

Well all she wants and all she needs

are reasons to survive

A day in which the sun will take

her artificial light... Her light

And it's one more day in paradise

One more day in paradise

It's one more day in paradise

One last chance to feel alright... Alright

Don't pretend to hold it in just let it out

Don't pretend to hold it in just push it out

Don't you try to hold it in just let it out and

Don't you try to hold it in you hold it in

Once upon a year gone by

she saw herself give in

Every time she closed her eyes

she saw what could have been.
