Can't Have It All

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.

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 off 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'll bring me your love

Only in my dreams is not enough

I keep on telling myself, telling myself

I can't, 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 lock with no key

I kid myself every morning

That the ache for you is no more

I dream that you'll bring me your love

(Chorus)

I keep on telling myself, telling myself

I can't, 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 would 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're always haunt me (x2)

(Chorus x2)
