[Verse 1]
Only when I look into your eyes
My senses ignite
I feel alive
I was waiting for an answer
Like a feather falling
From the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't want to belong to me
Cause freedom feels better
Than I could give
You love inadequetely
But you steal hearts like mine
Perfectly
[Chorus]
Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be my unrequited love
(Unrequited love)
Why can't our love be
Why can't our love be
Why can't our love be
Possible
[Verse 2]
For as long as I can remember
Like oil and water we collide
But you don't seem to want forever
This adventure was only real to my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't want to listen to me
Cause freedom sounds better
Than I can sing
You love inadequetely
You steal hearts like mine
Perfectly
[Chorus]
Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be my unrequited love
(Unrequited love)
Why can't our love be
Why can't our love be
Why can't our love be
Possible
[Verse 3]
You're a man with excuses
Cause we've had something real
But it was only what I feel, no
Oh you're a man, with your muses
Always wanting something new
And I was just someone that you could use
[Chorus]
Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be my unrequited love
(Unrequited love)
Why can't our love be
Why can't our love be
Why can't our love be
Possible

In the intro of the music video, Yuna talks about how unrequited love is much like how some people long to become one with the ocean. It is heavily related to one of the lines she has in “Your Love”.
From an evolutionary standpoint, all life originated from the ocean. Yuna acknowledges that this pe...
Sometimes you find yourself trying to let go of something
But it’s like you have been swimming in the ocean
For a very very long time
And you feel like you belong there
You are one with the waves
The warmth of the water
And your body moves in sync with the ocean
And you swim around just trying to st...
