Sophie Ellis Bextor - Can’t Have It All

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
