[Verse 1] The first time that I saw her My heart skipped a beat The prettiest girl you’ve ever seen But she wasn’t meant for me I knew that it was over She ignored me all night And every guy in the room could see She was never made for me She’s a match struck in the wind I hold out hands that she won’t fit in I keep my smile, I keep my place While she keeps turning every face [Chorus] You could never have her You could never have her She’s already halfway gone You could never have her You could never have her I knew that all along [Verse 2] She left a ring mark in my glass Like a ghost that wouldn’t pass She said my name like it was light Then vanished into Friday night I watched her dance with everyone Like she was born to break and run And I stayed quiet by the door With my heart out on the floor [Pre-Chorus] She’s a match struck in the wind I hold out hands that she won’t fit in I keep my smile, I keep my place While she keeps turning every face [Chorus] You could never have her You could never have her She’s already halfway gone You could never have her You could never have her I knew that all along (you could never have her) [Bridge] Maybe that’s the hardest truth Some girls are just a storm that moves You don’t own rain, you don’t hold fire You just stand there and admire And I did I did, I did [Final Chorus] You could never have her You could never have her She’s already halfway gone You could never have her You could never have her So I loved her from afar (loved her from afar) You could never have her You could never have her But she still stole my heart (you could never have her)
