Can't have it all
par 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
[repeat]
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 (is you)
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
it´s something that I´ll ignore
I tell myself I don´t need you
but I´m falling, falling once more

I keep on telling myself I can´t have it all
