if i can't have you

another picture on the wall

another life i used to live

another meaning once untrue

with every memory of you

broken in my sleep

another moment lost in time

you talked of love and i agreed

so many chances passed us by

and now i've lost the strength to try

your love was never mine to keep

we can't hold on we're losing track

so where's the road to take us back

and how did we forget what we believed

if i can't have you

and if the love has gone

and if you just can't find it in yourself to carry on

and if you had to leave

and take my life forever

cuz i would never be with anybody else

if i can't have you

with every night i lie awake

with every day we grow apart

is there a promise we can't break

we never learn from our mistakes

from the very start

we can't hold on we're losing track

so where's the road to take us back

and how did we forget what we believed

if i can't have you

and if the love has gone

and if you just can't find it in yourself to carry on

and if you had to leave

and take my life forever

cuz i would never be with anybody else

if i can't have you

don't look back on yesterday

cuz the time has been and gone

think of what tomorrow holds

without you it feels so wrong

i can't carry on

if i can't have you

and if the love has gone

and if you just can't find it in yourself to carry on

and if you had to leave

and take my life forever

cuz i would never be with anybody else

if i can't have you

oh no

if i can't have you
