🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- I know I'm not the only one
- You've been so unavailable
- Now sadly I know why
- Your heart is unobtainable
Sing it again — final chorus
- I know I'm not the only one
- I have loved you for many years
- Maybe I am just not enough
- You've made me realise my deepest fear
