By Design

To be the object of your affection

 But never by your side

 I can see the ending coming

 And I know I’m paralyzed

 How we dance around each other

 There’s no point in trying to hide

 This intoxicating feeling

 Knowing both our hands are tied

 If you can’t have it then you want it

 A trick I fall for every time

 But you blinked and I caught it

 Like a broken heart by design

 How I know you like to gamble

 So when you say you’re all in

 Knowing that it’s a sure bet

 Neither one of us can win

 If you can’t have it then you want it

 A trick I fall for every time

 But you blinked and I caught it

 Like a broken heart by design

 So even when you said that you wanted this

 I know you meant it at the time

 But it’s like being stuck in quicksand and sinking

 ‘Cause I know you’ll change your mind

 I know you’ll change your mind

 If you can’t have it then you want it

 A trick I fall for every time

 But you blinked and I somehow caught it

 Like a broken heart by design

 Another broken heart by design

 A broken heart by design
