Forbidden Feeling Lyrics – CG5

[Verse 1]
I think it’s about time I should give it up (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Whenever you come around, I’m feeling love (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
It’s just another day for me in paradise (Ah, ah-ah)
Beating me up, forever thinking twice (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I pray to my God that I don’t pay the price (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s hard to be just friends without making a mess (Ah, ah-ah)
Something inside me all over (Oh)

[Chorus]
I can’t take this forbidden feeling
I can’t take it, so many reasons why
I-I can’t love you
I can’t take this forbidden feeling
I can’t take it, so many reasons why
I-I can’t love you

[Post-Chorus]
(I-I can’t love you)

[Verse 2]
Asphyxiated by the thought of wanting to get up in the morning
Wake up right here next to you
(Outta luck, so why don’t you stay outta sight?)
I’m breathing you in, you’re like my cyanide
You take all I give, and now I cling to life

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t need to apologize
Sorry that I even tried (Oh)

[Chorus]
I can’t take this forbidden feeling
I can’t take it, so many reasons why
I-I can’t love you
I can’t take this forbidden feeling
I can’t take it, so many reasons why
I-I can’t love you

[Post-Chorus]
(I-I can’t love you)
(One, two, three, four)

[Bridge]
It started low (I can’t take it, I can’t take it, no)
Then it got a little louder (I can’t take it, I can’t take it, no)
When you got too close (I can’t take it, I can’t take it, no)
Just take away my power (I can’t take it)
‘Cause I can’t take it

[Chorus]
I can’t take this forbidden feeling
I can’t take it, so many reasons why
I-I can’t love you
I can’t take this forbidden feeling
I can’t take it, so many reasons why (Why)
I-I can’t love you (Oh)

[Outro]
I-I-I can’t love you
‘Cause I-I-I love you

[Verse 1]
This verse reflects the internal struggle of the protagonist as they realize it’s time to let go of their feelings for someone they can’t have. Despite the excitement and joy that person brings, it only leads to inner conflict and doubt, fearing the consequences of pursuing this forbidden love.

[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus highlights the difficulty of maintaining a platonic friendship when deeper feelings are involved. The protagonist grapples with conflicting emotions, feeling overwhelmed by the internal turmoil caused by their unrequited love.

[Chorus]
The chorus encapsulates the central theme of the song: the inability to act on forbidden feelings despite longing to do so. The protagonist acknowledges the many reasons why they cannot pursue the object of their affection, resigning themselves to the fact that they cannot love them.

[Post-Chorus]
This brief section reinforces the idea that the protagonist is incapable of reciprocating the love they feel, emphasizing the emotional barrier that prevents them from acting on their desires.

[Verse 2]
The second verse delves deeper into the protagonist’s longing, expressing the suffocating nature of their desire to be close to the person they love. The imagery of being poisoned by their presence highlights the toxic effect that unrequited love can have on an individual.

[Pre-Chorus]
In this repetition of the pre-chorus, the protagonist expresses a sense of resignation and acceptance of the situation, recognizing that there’s no need for apologies for their feelings, even though they know pursuing them would be futile.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the protagonist’s internal struggle and the multitude of reasons why they cannot act on their forbidden feelings. Despite the repetition, it underscores the depth of the protagonist’s internal conflict and their inability to change their circumstances.

[Post-Chorus]
Once again, the post-chorus reaffirms the protagonist’s inability to love the object of their affection, emphasizing the finality of their decision.

[Bridge]
The bridge intensifies the emotional turmoil, describing how the protagonist’s feelings escalate when the person they desire becomes too close. The repetition of “I can’t take it” underscores the overwhelming nature of their emotions, pleading for relief from the agony of unrequited love.

[Chorus]
The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the protagonist’s inability to love, despite their overwhelming feelings. The inclusion of “Why” suggests a lingering sense of confusion and frustration over their predicament.

[Outro]
The outro concludes with a poignant declaration of love juxtaposed with the acknowledgment that the protagonist cannot act on it. Despite their deep feelings, they are resigned to the fact that their love must remain unrequited.
