can't have it all
Singer: sophie ellis-bextor
i tell myself i can't have you
it's something that i'll ignore
i tell myself i don't need you
but i'm falling
falling once more
and everyday it gets harder
to pick my heart of the floor
i say it over and over
girl
you can't have it all
you can't have it all
i dream that you bring me your love
only in my dreams
it's not enough
i keep on telling myself
telling myself
i can't have
can't have it all
can't have it all
i keep on telling myself i can't have it all
i can't have you
and now i'm learning to live
learning to live
i'm learning to live on without
having your love returning
i can't have it all
but all that i want is you
you remain in the twilight
with eyes that look but don't see
and i'm a book lying open
while you're a lock with no key
i kid myself every morning
that the ache for you is no more
i dream that you bring me your love
i keep on telling myself
telling myself
i can't have
can't have it all
can't have it all
i keep on telling myself i can't have it all
i can't have you
and now i'm learning to live
learning to live
i'm learning to live on without
having your love returning
i can't have it all
you're all that i want
why won't i listen when i hear them saying
you're better off without a heart that's breaking
though i'm fool enough to love when you don't want me
i'm wise enough to know that you will always haunt me
i keep on telling myself
telling myself
i can't have
can't have it all
can't have it all
i keep on telling myself i can't have it all
i can't have you
and now i'm learning to live
learning to live
i'm learning to live on without
having your love returning
i can't have it all
but all that i want is you
why won't i listen when i hear them saying
you're better off without a heart that's breaking
though i'm fool enough to love when you don't want me
i'm wise enough to know that you will always haunt me
and now i'm learning to live
learning to live
i'm learning to live on without
having your love returning
i can't have it all
you're all that i want
