The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh oh, oh oh
Maybe It's just, that we met up, under fuzz terms
Or maybe the universe's playing jokes on us
Try to keep my light on
Try to keep my light on for you
Oh boy did you know?
I got my feet on the ground
You would not know me now
Gotta keep my world in check
Believe me when I say it's over
'Cause i know x3
I tried but I can't fake it
I see you calling
But I know
I can't take it
After covering all those bases
Been here before you should know
You can't have it all
Looking back now
I can see I made some mistakes
Apologizing when you were wrong
Then pain for your place
Cut my heart open
I layed it all out now
I changed the locks you know
I got my feet on the ground
You would not know me
Gotta keep my world in check
Believe me when i say its over 'Cause I know x3
I tried but I can't fake it
I see you calling
But I know
I can't take it
After covering all those bases
Been here before you should know
You can't have it all
Been here before you should know
You can't have it all
Oh you know you left me sideways
I'm done with all your highs and goodbyes babe
Sometimes the stars don't allign and it's okay
Yeah we're broken oh you can't take it
I tried but I can't fake it I see you calling
But I know I can't take it
After covering all those bases
Been here before you should know You can't have it all
Been here before you should know
You can't have it all
