when i can't have you

Singer: farnham, john

every time i look into the mirror

every time i have to close my eyes

i ask myself is it a sin to be a sinner

if it's only something in my mind

'cause i know that we could never be

like we want to be

i'm only make believing

i'm only self deceiving

tell me how could i

tell myself a lie

dreaming is all i do

when i can't have you

someone else can hold you like i want to

someone else can really make you cry

wish i could find a way to make it better

but i know that i shouldn't even try

'cause i know that we could never be like we want to be

if i could be the only one that you'll come running to

if i could make the past undone i would

sometimes i feel it's the way you look at me

the way that you do

when you know i can't have you
