If I Can't Have You

To say it's love would be too simple
Too obvious
It's more like a calling a vocation
Something I was
Put on this earth to do
Now I'm shooting with the stars
And I'm flying with the angels
And my heartbeat is a symphony the
Closer I get to you
I never saw you comin' till you
Came and here you are
I never thought someone
Would ever dare
To come this far
You're up for the resistance

And I'm strong in my persistence

And I've never known
A remedy like ours

If I can't have you

If I can't have you

I would be a river dried up

Into dust

I would be imprisoned

For ever having loved

If I can't have you

I don't wanna be me

Then I would be the same man
You scraped off the ground
I'd have to go back bein'
That broken soul you found

Those days are in the darkness
I buried them with hardness
And I'd have to dig those
Demons out

Your life is like anchor that puts
Me in my place
No you won't let me sink when
I'm off losin' my way

Thank God for your virtue
And the wisdom in your eye

Cause somehow you
Get through on
All that crazy in my mind

If I can't have you

If I can't have you

I would be a river
Dried up into dust

I would be imprisoned for never

Having loved

If I can't have you

I don't wanna be me

I don't wanna be me

Why did it take you so long to
Finally see

That we had a love
That you don't find easily

You broke my heart and the price
To pay for that

Is you'll have to live the misery of

Losing what you had

If I can't have you

My words have come to late

I've already turned that page

Don't you look at me that way
Cause you′ll pull me back and
That's the part I hate

I'll stay trapped inside my hell

Where it's so hot
That my walls melt

And I can hear a promise
In every lie you said

You'd never tell

If I had only told the truth

Oh I could never trust you to

You'll survive

No I will die

If I can't have you

If I can't have you

Then I'm sorry for the things I
Cost you in the end

My punishment is more than any
Man can stand

I need you in my life

I can't let go

Why don't you stay with me

I feel alone

Turn off all the lights

Take me home

If I can't have you

If I can't have you

Then I would be a river
Dried up into dust
I would be imprisoned
For ever having loved

If I can't have you

I don't wanna be me

To say it's love would be too simple
