The Last Thing I Need
I5 Lyrics

You're the first thing I want
You're the first and foremost thought in my mind, the one thing I desire the most

And the last thing I need
However, you are also the very last thing I require, as the harm that comes with wanting you surely outweighs any benefit to be gained

You know if I was smart
It seems like a logical thing to do, to listen to the voice of reason and let go of what I cannot have

I would tuck in my heart
I would ignore my desires and suppress my emotions to avoid the inevitable heartache that will come from wanting you

And tell it to leave
I would command my own heart to abandon the thought of pursuing you, as I know the consequences of doing so

Don't you know I could fall
Despite the risks, I still find myself tempted to submit to my desires and be with you, which puts me in a precarious situation

I could fall so easily
It wouldn't take much for me to lose myself in the idea of having you and throw caution to the wind, no matter how unwise it may be

Everyday it goes on
This cycle of wanting and resisting you repeats itself every day, making it difficult for me to make a decision either way

What makes it so hard
The reason why it is such a challenge is because the attraction feels so right, so natural, even though circumstances dictate otherwise

Is that it feels so good
Pursuing you, even if only in my mind, gives me a sense of pleasure and satisfaction that I can't find anywhere else in my life

You're everything I dreamed of
In your presence, I find myself living out fantasies that I once thought were just a figment of my imagination

Feels just like it should
Everything about this experience, from the way you look to the way you make me feel, seems to fall perfectly into place, as if it were always meant to be this way

There's just one thing more
However, I am already in a relationship with someone else, and that complicates matters further

I got somebody else
I have a partner whom I am committed to and have promised my loyalty to, and that person deserves my entire heart

So I wake up each morning
Every day, I try to remind myself of my responsibilities and obligations to my partner, in the hopes of quelling my own desires

And I say to myself
I give myself a pep talk, reminding myself of why I need to remain faithful and dedicated to my current relationship

The thought of your kiss
Despite my best efforts, I can't shake the image of being with you, particularly the romantic and sensual aspects of a relationship with you

Is all that it takes
The very idea of your kiss, the possibility of being romantic with you, is enough to send shivers down my spine and make me consider taking the risk anyway

I start imagining
My mind wanders, and I allow myself to indulge in fantasies about us being together, just for a moment

The love we shouldn't make
I am well aware that what I am thinking about is wrong, both for myself and for my partner, and yet I can't help but imagine what it would feel like to be with you

Tried to forget you
I have attempted to clear you from my mind and move on from this desire, but doing so has proven to be much harder than expected

But I can't get enough
The more I try to resist my feelings for you, the stronger they seem to become, to the point where they are nearly overwhelming

No matter what I do
I am at a loss as to how to get myself out of this predicament, as nothing I do seems to get rid of this undying attraction I have for you

In a different space
Sometimes, I wonder what my life would be like if I were in a different situation, if I were single or if you were available, and I could be with you without any guilt or fear of retribution

In a different time
Perhaps in another time, another era, or another life, our paths could cross without any difficulties and we could be together

I could hold you in my arms
I dream of a time when I could embrace you, kiss you, love you without any inhibitions or worries

And you'd be mine
In this alternate reality, you are mine and I am yours, and nothing can come between us

I wish there was a way
However, all of this will remain a wish, a dream, as it is impossible for me to change my current circumstances

(Spanish line)
The singer remarks in Spanish that he doesn't want anyone else, that he doesn't know how to get rid of this craving he has for his desired love interest

But I belong to someone else
Despite everything, the fact remains that he is in a committed relationship and that he cannot simply abandon that loyalty for the sake of his desires

You're the first thing
Even after everything that has been said and done, the attraction to the desired love interest remains as strong as ever

Yes you are
The singer affirms that his feelings for this person are real, raw and not something he can easily dismiss or forget
