Running Out of Wishes

I've heard some rumors in my time—that love can conquer all
                   It can move mountains—it can see you through until the end
Lift you up to dance on sun-colored clouds, make a lover out of a good friend.
        I've heard love is something magical; happens without cause
                          Leaves you sometimes feeling hopeless and just a bit lost.

I find myself when I look at you—I see who I want to be
               And as you walk away, I find myself with a lock but not the key.
I reach out my hand to you, but it's thin air I grasp
                             Just one chance. One chance is all I ask.

Take a leap. Take a dare. And if failure follows after--
               Trust that I will still be there. It's a deadly question:
I know that life ain't always fair. But I hope just this once
                             It won't turn out with me being on my own.

It's a bit peculiar; perhaps a bit out of the norm
            But I find magic behind words—they lift me up and keep me warm.
I'd do anything to change the world—but I'm powerless against the tide
      Yet these feelings in my heart I can no longer hide (forgive me)

I'm a fool for believing in miracles and happily ever afters, I know
                 But it kills me inside to just have to let you go.
Not once did my heart stop loving you—a special place you've always held
                            And I knew you were something special since the day I met you.

I would give it all up just to make you smile--
                     To be the arms that wrap around you that makes you stay awhile longer.
I would give it all up just to make you laugh--
         To hear it in your voice that true love lasts.

I've heard rumors—some I held to be true
          Love can conquer everything...
So just answer me this...
                        Why can't I get through to you?
